Assembly

I'm not a huge fan of stories told in vignettes, where you have to weave the threads of plot yourself but this is a novella so it didn't last long. The first half was very good, then it stumbled around in a series of thoughts about multiple things before resuming with the plot, which was left unresolved. I think, with the right editing, this would have made an extraordinary short story but instead it is an inconsistent and unsatisfying novella.

I was sent a free copy of this book for review so thank you to Hachette Press.
