Not bad, just felt like despite there being three stories here, it was kind of repetitive. Weird thing happens, then we reach a potential climax but...it cuts off.
I understood why they were published in this collections together but there was room for variety in how each tell ended. I really enjoyed the first story because the ending didn't seem too open-ended, though. The other two stories, while interesting in their own way, I personally feel relied too much on the reader's imagination in the end. I kind of don't love when books do that usually lol and would rather see read actually happens. So maybe that's just a me thing.
An overall enjoyable reading experience! I would revisit the first one for sure, which was not only uniquely written (hello? second person POV that didn't make my skin itch?) but actually felt like it had a solid build and climax. Hell, maybe I'd even reread the third, but I don't really think there's much about the second one that did anything for me so I'd skip it next go around if I'm being honest.
