The writing was good and kept me engaged when the story didn't. The stories themselves however were mostly misses for me, I did like The Wrong Grave, The Constable of Abal, Pretty Monsters, and The Cinderella Game but the other stories felt dragged on without really saying/doing anything or seemed almost slapped together. I know they're short stories, but a lot of them ended right when it had a chance to go somewhere good so I was just left hanging. It was a nice read but I probably wouldn't read it again and mostly wanted to finish it so I could move onto the next book
