various short stories

A decent amount of short stories with some known characters, listen to this one before you pick up any of the novellas

Continues to be captivating

Enjoyed all of it. However the multiple short story novels of the series I do enjoy less that a single focused story. Regardless I would recommend.

Excellent Narrators

The narrators are excellent for every story and some of the writing is too notch (Censure) but other segments definitely leave you wanting for more. But I guess that is the downfall of short stories.

A breath of fresh air

The previous book was so bad that I felt I didn’t want to consume 40k stories as voraciously as before

This book renews my vigor in many ways. It moves the plot forward, respects your time, and was masterfully performed by all of its narrators

Truly wonderful

Fun read.

Fun read. doesn't necessarily move the story forward but fun to hear more about some fan favorites from previous books.
