Rating: 6 out of 10
The character voices in this novella are brilliant. That's what most of the positive rating rests on. It has a decidedly pulp sensibility, which might account for the escalation in violence that I couldn't quite buy. In the end, it was a little too grim, no win, for me.
Again, I enjoyed the novella length. This might be a sweet spot for ebooks for me.
I have pre-ordered Wendig's, _Blackbirds_, out later this year. I am hoping that the same brilliance of voice is there, and that the book has a plot I find more satisfying.
