There are stories within a story here and it reminds me a bit of S cheherazadeand her tales she told to spare her life. The narrator is telling a story to a caliph and we don’t know why. “The Merchant and the Alchemist’s Gate” (5 stars)-I loved this story that included time travel as well as a message of fate, love, and forgiveness. ![]() Per usual, here are my individual ratings for the short stories. I still love how he talks about things such as fate, faith, love, and even touches upon how technological advancements does not always equal making things better for human beings or other species.
