The world-building is pretty good overall & imo on the same level as Dune. Personally I find the writing a bit uneven. IMHO the 1st story is a bit boring, the 3rd is sort of interesting, & the 4th & the last are amazing.

This was fine, but it's basically a bunch of short stories strung together and I'm just not a huge short story fan. 🤷🏼‍♀️ ...more
