adventurous dark emotional slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

all cover, no substance. I wanted to like this so bad, I mean look at this cover…a work of art. While I liked the concept behind many of the short stories in this book, they fell a little flat for me. I could see the structure so clearly highlighting a point / lesson but the stories felt empty otherwise.
