A series of well written stories though the first is certainly my favourite. I had picked this up in hope of diversifying from my usual reads and was pleasantly surprised. 

I enjoy the depiction of power struggles within the stories and the harrowing narrative of brutality within it. 

The only reason I am not ranking higher is simply for the reason that I don’t think I would re-read this or if I did it would only be for the first of the 3 tales.
