I must say that I much preferred this over the previous two books – which, to me, seemed to drag on for way too long at points –, even though I would have perhaps liked fewer but slightly longer stories instead. It often appears to me that the stories conclude rather abruptly, and thus longer stories might have helped mitigate this. It took me about 20-odd minutes to finish each chapter – and thus, story – and lengthening this to perhaps 30 or 40 minutes would've made this book even better.

Nevertheless, the quality of aforesaid stories is extraordinary and it was a very engaging book I was nigh-unable to put down. I am most definitely looking forward to reading the upcoming book.
