I have not read many short story collections but among that limited number (<10) this one certainly was the best.
Of the seven short stories within this volume two of the story have actually been amazing (After the Feast, Mother of Monsters), three have been very good and the other two were ok-good as well. So that definitely sums up to a winner in my book!
It is kind of weird with great short stories. If you enjoy a certain one so much and then you blink and it's just over and leaves you wanting more. I don't think that can ever go away. :/
Hadrian is a tremendous MC for the main series but it is great touch that we get only different POVs in this collection.
Be aware that these stories contain huge spoilers for the main series and should not by read after at least Ashes of Man (book 5 of the main series)
