I picked up three short stories from this author and decided to start with the earliest first and (hopefully) see if he's progressed as a writer.With this short tale, I thought the plot and concept were excellent but there were some problems with it. Namely, the dialogue was stunted and didn't give a real flavor to any of the characters. I found it hard to keep up with who was who of the two main characters, since neither had a uniqueness to them. I also thought the majority of dialogue was spent telling facts about them instead of learning about them, if that makes sense.Like I said, the plot was good. I really liked the descriptions when they moved to and into the ash, and I also think there is enough ideas for this to either have been a longer story, or room for more stories set in this world.It was a quick and enjoyable read and I'm hoping the next one shows improvement and the start of a promising career!Armand
