The stories after the first one are an improvement in writing style, but they still have issues, namely that there is more telling than showing, and at key points we are told what to think of characters and their decisions. The stories themselves are lacking in tension, too. I found the previous books' personal dramas a lot more compelling.

Dull and uninspired so far. Lots of world-building that feels out of place this late into the series. The tone is dry and the characters lack depth. Going to read a couple more stories just to see if the collection improves.
