• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? It's complicated

4.0

Short story collections are always a bit of a tossup for whether I like them or not. Most of these I generally liked, though the first few I didn't, so it was a bit of a rough start. There wasn't anything cool enough that I wanted to seek out more of the author's work, though. Also, the cover art is super uncanny-valley creepy, and I couldn't figure out whether that was deliberate or not. I just kept it face down when I wasn't reading it.
