Some great stories mixed with some that are in desperate need of workshopping. Some should’ve never been sent to print. Some are simply writing exercises and nothing more. I would’ve been happier had Russel cut the fat but I can’t deny that when she’s good she’s great. Reeling for the Empire and Proving up were my favorites.
