It wasn't what I was expecting, a series of individual vignette versus a straight narrative. Some of the stories are much stronger than others, to the point where I was wishing these few stories were fleshed out to be the entire narrative. In addition, there were times when I felt like I needed a character map because someone that appeared in a very early story, either appears, is made reference to or one of their off-spring appears in a much later story. Where did this person come from again?
Then a few of the vignettes were serious, hardcore, exoplanet type sci-fi, which was a bit jarring to suddenly leap to while in the middle of a mildly dystopian modern day plague story. These stories weren't bad, but it just pulls you out of the narrative; spending the first page or two wondering what the hell is going on.
That being said, the writing on some of these stories is wonderful. The expressions of sadness and loneliness were just overpowering. Again, some of these stories, combined and expanded into a single large narrative would have made an incredible book.
