Very very good....I don't usually get along well with short stories, so the structure of the book was a challenge for mw...but the last section, omg, I wasn't able to put it down...a must read

I had a bit of a hard time telling some of the characters apart, especially since there were so many we were focusing on, but I really loved the overall story. Also felt like the story ended too abruptly and did not really resolve. That very well could have been the point, that there is no neat resolution, but I would have liked to hear a little more from each character.
