If an author has to give an introduction before each short story, that’s a big clue they’re not good enough to stand alone. This is a collection of shorts, most between .5 and 1.5 hrs, and many connecting to the author’s various series (or so we’re told by the author). I kind of feel like these were the chapters that editors felt should be left on the drawing room floor, but the author is so enamored with his work that he just couldn’t let them go.
After listening to the novella Coming for Green, I thought this larger collection would be a good value. Sadly, most of these stories are about mood and feature reminiscing or ruminating about events,
Few of the shorts have action, dialogue, or memorable characters. I started and stopped this several times over the past year and ended up speeding up the narration quite a bit to get through it.
I only cared for the shorts from the Green universe, and perhaps that was more to do with Ms. Kellgren’s energetic narration breathing life into the characters.
