Finally finished this last night! And it was all great- I knew
Chloe was going to die but the
how was really well done.
Then, I start reading the final story and I realized that... wait a
second, is this story about to start interweaving with one of mine??? This feels...
weird?And then I imagined Mike Stackpole somewhere out there in the universe jumping off his couch like Loki to shout at me :D ;D
No, it was VERY cool to see that something I wrote became part of someone else's story, and Randall's kind words in the Author notes meant a lot. :)
Overall, I really liked this anthlogoy. It showed places we haven't seen, it showed the "traditional" look at a unit starting up but showed it really well, it had politics and treachery and just... good stuff. Well worth the read! :-)
