I really enjoyed most of the stories. Ben Kane‘s story is my least favorite and part of that is just the way Kane writes. I don’t like it. Overall, I love the execution of this and the interconnectedness of all six stories, despite being written by six different authors. I love how the timeline progresses, I love how the characters all pop up in each story. There were some questions that I wanted explained a little bit better and if you’re going to use Latin and explanation would be helpful by those words or a glossy in the back.  Not withstanding that because I thoroughly enjoy most of the stories, This still gets a very high rating.
