Following on from "Prosperity". Fascinating, heart-thrilling, compelling, gorgeous. So glad to have more in this world, with these characters. How does he makes these stories so funny and real and heartful?

I loved these stories that took place in the world of [b:Prosperity|22544017|Prosperity (Prosperity, #1)|Alexis Hall|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1403127950s/22544017.jpg|41999500], especially the first two stories.
The first story, which told of the first meetings of Ruben and Milord, was by far the best. It was short, so I don't want to give anything away, but WOW what an ending!
The second story told of a particularly disturbing governess job of one Miss Jane Grey. No idea if this contributed to the loss of some of her wits in the future, but I would't blame her if it did.
And I was fascinated by the third story, which basically was Byron Kae telling of his past and what led him into being a skycaptain.
The fourth story was interesting enough, but I did skim some. It's strong point was the introduction of a few new eccentric characters.
I loved the character of Miranda Lovelace and I'm holding out hope to hear more about her. What a character. And I really hope this is not the last time we hear from any of these characters.

Stellar. I wasn't an enormous fan of the first story - torture is not something I enjoy reading about, especially as I didn't feel it necessary to establish the violence of Milord - but the rest are wonderful, and Byron Kae's narrative voice in particular is among the more effortlessly poetic I've come across in a while. Gorgeous.
