medium-paced
funny hopeful inspiring reflective tense medium-paced

Starts good, but is too episodic for my tastes. The ideas are great, and every episode has something to think about, but the lack of continuity gets on my nerves.

Intriguing but felt almost dry? All the narrators seem to run together in terms of their voice, and I found the writing style to be rather bland. I found myself not concerned about various crises, because I knew there was still pages left, so clearly this must not actually be a problem. I don’t know if I’ll pick up the sequels.
