It was fine. I liked the writing style and I mostly enjoyed the stories.

I occasionally had to figure out who the narrator was for certain chapters. That seemed a little confusing at the beginning when I didn't know who was who quite yet.

But overall, it just seemed really anticlimactic.

Firmly fine and would have benefited from a few more stories to fill in gaps here and there. This feels slightly underbaked, but in a way that I'm excited to see what the author comes up with next.
