A free copy of the book was provided by the author. A review was not required.
I had a couple issues with this short story.
First, Rick's reaction to Mal was pretty awful, so I hated that Mal ended up being the one to apologize. Frankly, he had every right to be upset about what Rick was saying/implying.
Second, the writing style wasn't great. I didn't like the use of first person here, because it didn't sound realistic to me. There was also a tendency to over-describe things. I definitely skimmed over several paragraphs of Rick describing his own physical features because I found it both boring and awkward.
