In the acknowledgements, Weeks admits to using this story as a way to experiment with a "staccato" type of storytelling to see if it works or not. To be honest, I wasn't a huge fan of the method in this story. It was more confusing than interesting. As far as the story goes, I thought it was decent but to be honest, I wasn't a huge fan of the Night Angel series so getting a backstory on Durzo Blint wasn't as nerdgasmic an experience for me as it clearly was for people who are bigger fans of that series.
