As most story collections go, this is a bit of a mixed bag, but there are excellent ones sprinkled throughout and the title story and the final one—“Origin Story” are so great they make this a must-read.
Made better by knowing that the stories are following the “Hook & Chain”/ABBCCDDEEFFA musical song form as a guide to the stories. The first and last stories create an incredibly moving sort of call and response to one another.
