rating is for the short story “misericorde” only. wagner’s writing style and use of dialogue are very engaging, but i was annoyed by what seemed like weird gaps in the story. kane is hired to take four people’s lives, but it’s unclear how he actually does so until the very end of the story. and immediately after that reveal, yet another death is left unclear. however, this might just have been a problem with the text on the pdf version i was reading for class.

although i didn’t find the character of kane particularly compelling in the story, i would be interested in reading more of his stories in the future to see if my opinion changes.
