• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

Leo writes though provoking stories, though no doubt there is some beauty lost in translation. I enjoyed reading these stories and two will really stick with me for personal reasons. However this collection is too hyper focused on a single theme and the writing began to feel less unique and more repetitive as I read more. This collection almost presented Leo Tolstoy as a one trick pony - which he is not.
