- Plot- or character-driven? A mix

I always enjoy this sort of book of new "old" tales to read which I've always found rang truer than the stories we actually grow up with.
I'm happy to finally be able to properly dive into these peculiar books, telling of a peculiar world like none other - ours, just an unexplainable moment away.

Pros
- Nice illustrations at the beginning of each chapter.
- The last tale "The Man Who Stole The Sun" was the best one. Probably the best thing Riggs has written in this entire universe.
- I like that Millard is the author.
Cons
- The rest of the tales were quite boring.
- It was really hard to tell when certain tales took place. For a universe that revolves around time, there was virtually no word-building. Some of the tales felt way to modern and really took me out of them.
