Obwohl ich eigentlich kein Kurzgeschichtenfan bin, hat mir dieser Band sehr gut gefallen. Besonders schön fand ich, dass Ben Aaronovitch zu jeder Geschichte ein kurzes "Vorwort" geschrieben hat mit Informationen darüber, wo die Geschichte verortet ist und wie es dazu kam, dass er sie geschrieben hat. Auch und besonders die Geschichten, die nicht Peter Grant als Hauptperson haben, fand ich wirklich gut. Diese und die "Momente" machen Hoffnung und Lust auf mehr! ( )
I normally judge a short story collection by whether I want more stories. In this case, I just wanted each of the stories to be a little longer - a bit more plot, a bit more characterisation, a bit more world-building. Yes, I enjoyed this. Not perfect, but I want more.
