Normally, I'm not a fan of short story collections. However, this was better than most. All the stories really added depth to the existing characters in the series. There's so many in the first law world that it was nice to see a little more back story or story continuation of a few less prominent characters.

I appreciated how there is one particular story interwoven throughout this book. Not continuously told but peppered in enough that it enticed me to keep a steady pace reading. Most collections will fail to keep my attention. I can binge read multi volume thousand page beastly book series, but tell a whole bunch of unconnected little stories, and you'll lose my interest.
