Review: Unique and Original Stories
Rating: 5 out of 5

I’ve gotten quite into dystopian, post-apocalyptic fiction in recent months and this novel is one of the best I’ve read in the genre. The fact that it is basically a sci-fi story and a detective mystery rolled into one only solidified that opinion. Highly recommended to all fans of those genres.The characters are also very well drawn out with a lot of depth, which I love, while the plot and world are very imaginative and unique.  At first I was a little worried that since this book is actually a series of novellas I wouldn’t like it as much (as I’m not a huge fan of shorter fiction), but in the end I really enjoyed the format.  Each of the novellas follows a separate storyline, with Kirin the detective forming the main link. So, really, this is 3 stories in one and a great intro into the world the author created.Anyway, I’m off to read stories 4-7 of this series. Can’t wait to see what happens next!
