A great short story companion to Angel Maker. If you liked Angel Maker you'll want to make sure you read this. Even if you haven't read Angel Maker, it's a good sampling of what you're missing out on.

Wonderfully rich writing (which seems to be Harkaway's forte). Alas, too short! Would be four stars+ if not for the abrupt ending that made it feel unfinished. We need more Edie! Please? (My favorite character from Angelmaker.)

Edie!!!! The whole time I was thinking she sounded familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on it until I saw a mention to Angelmaker. Ah Edie, still a bad ass. I would read her hey day shenanigans in a heartbeat.

I really wanted to like this short story considering the tie-in with Angelmaker, but it fell flat and didn't add much to the world.

Meh - it just got started at the end.
I would rate it better if it were the first chapter of a book. But it's merely pretending to be a short story - too many things started that beg being finished or expanded on. Good writing - just didn't feel like like a nicely constrained short story.
