Wow, what great storytelling. The jumping around in the timeline is a really compelling mechanism, and it's also written really well. I was never confused about where we were in the timeline, which is sometimes hard with that sort of technique. I also think that novellas sometimes suffer from not having enough time to really develop the characters, but I think Corey handled this well by limiting the number of characters who were important to the story. Overall, a pleasant, short read.
