It's always OK to ask. Yes, I enjoyed it. There were many stories I'd read somewhere else, but at least a couple I hadn't. And some really good ones in there. One of the things I find unusual is that Lee&Miller are equally as good at shorter works as they are at novel length works. Many writers don't cross over that well. So that they do is a real bonus, because I quite enjoy their "outtakes" -- the vast majority of their shorter works start life either as "Well, that didn't fit there, but it's too good to throw away" and so gets worked into a full story/novella, or is the result of "gee, I wonder what happened to <fill in the blank>" and once it gets in their mind, just must be written. My favourite example of the latter is Skyblaze, a novelette that covers the story of the taxi driver from I Dare, Vertu dea'San, and what happens to her.

In this one, among others, we have the two stories that bookend Fortune's Favors, Degrees of Separation, and Block Party.
