The Bluff-dweller resonated with me
Another minor gripe was unlike the other Stay More books, I thought the post-modern elements in [b:Farther Along|2572534|Farther Along|Donald Harington|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1347685180s/2572534.jpg|2583895] detracted from the story.
Sub-par [a:Donald Harington|159630|Donald Harington|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1240153955p2/159630.jpg] is still pretty darn good though and well worth reading.
Bummed that only have one more left, [b:Enduring|6408441|Enduring|Donald Harington|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1347749757s/6408441.jpg|6597355]
