I appreciated how this volume leveled up a bit on the design and presentation fronts from the previous ones. Subtle good changes. And aside from one run of three or four stories (that were competent but personally abrasive), I liked almost everything I read in this third entry in the series. Lots to follow up on more after later, and I'll happily read future books in this series.
