  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

I think I'm going to leave this collection unrated. Every story felt distinct, with an immersive writing style and nuanced and fleshed out characters. At the end of each story I felt like I had the rug pulled out from under me, and it gave me a lot to reflect on.
