3.0

I wasn't really sure what to do with some of these stories. The surreal ones are great: "The Lost Order" and "Once an Empire" are awesome, and "The Region of Unlikeness" is pretty good.

But that's three of ten stories--the rest are either just okay or downright dull. I skipped through a few of them because they weren't interesting enough to engage me. Experimentation is happening, which I like, but it didn't compel me to stay focused.

3/5
