Two stories down, three to go

I think it was a mistake to have some of these stories forced into novella lengths. It didn't work for some. They feel stretched and bloated, and the collection suffers because of it.

This book is beginning to lose momentum after a strong start. When I begin to question the stories and dissect them because the plot devices or characters or the universe doesn't make sense, it's tough to keep going. There had better be something to hold my attention or I start to skip over stories.

As usual, Renee's poetic narrative does not disappoint.

Though well written, was somewhat disappointed with Chosen People. Huntress looks very promising.
