  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

While I think that Rainbow Stories works better as a thematic whole, this collection still has real moments in it that shine through. “The Ghost of Magnetism” in particular hit me hard; like Vollmann, for better or for worse California will always be my home, no matter how far in any direction I may be from it.
