Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)

Pro: The account of Ingrid’s pain at the loss of her sister feels very real.

Con: The concept is a little too silly to really get into. For example, it makes no sense that the city can’t walk unless it turns someone into a bird.

  1. I think the city took her humanity, and she was hoping to become unfeeling like stone. The city thought making her a bird so she could fly would help her more. It compromised by turning her blue instead of into a grey pigeon. Here's the stone she was touching: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Stone
