The Gwen Farris stories suffer from the author's lack of professional polish as a writer, and need the next level of professional copy-editing (i.e.  one instead of on, off instead of of, etc.)The repetitive "If this was a movie" trope gets a little old.Frequently, you have no idea what the room or place that the action is taking place in looks like. For instance, the only thing I know about the train station is that it is wooden and full of trash.  And while many characters have the blessings of wearing uniforms, the juxtaposition of detailed descriptions of some people's clothing with others being totally unmentioned is somewhat jarring after a bit.Never-the-less, the viewpoint is a unique take on an alternate history series, and the stories were fun and worth reading.I went back and forth between a 3 and a 4.  In many ways, it's a 4 series, but I settled on a 3 just because it doesn't quite reach that level of professionalism I expect for 4 stars.
