★★☆☆☆ Not Recommended

"Like a River Loves the Sky," by Emma Törzs [bio] (edited by Lynne M. Thomas and Michael Damian Thomas), appeared in Uncanny Magazine issue 21, published on March 1, 2018.
Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: NPW uses his gift to leave Adriana what she really needs—loyal companions.
Con: There’s not a hint that NPW could resurrect the dead before that point, and nothing at all is done with the unnatural dreams. Beyond that, there’s no story at all; just a sequence of events.
