The first story in this collection (The Finkelstein 5) was really powerful and visceral. There were a couple of stories that suffered from the same problem I had with Chain Gang All Star, they were more universe exploration than story, which is just not my thing. There's a story with ghosts (?) of aborted fetuses talking which was really uncomfortable but not in a good way.

There's no questioning that Adjei-Brenyah is very skilled at creating universes and giving characters their unique voices but ultimately I just think his storytelling style isn't really for me.
