Plot-wise, some of the short stories were individually quite weak. The letters from Frobisher the composer were among the most enjoyable parts for me style-wise, but in terms of plot ended up quite unimpressive. I’d also have appreciated a stronger interconnectedness of the stories, such as if perhaps the incarnations learned from their past lives or were somehow directly influenced by them. What we have instead are fleeting mentions and references that have zero impact on the events.
