review 1: I like all of John Scalzi's stories, and this is no exception. But the short story format was just not enough here to explore his idea and his characters. I read an Isaac Asimov piece about how a successful short story could have either a plot or well developed characters but there isn't room for both. The problem with this is it fails because it tries to have both and it leaves you without enough of either.
review 2: In a rare move for Scalzi, if I'm not mistaken, this story is unrelated to any of the larger universes he has built through his novels, which adds an intriguing note of curiosity to what is otherwise the gold standard of sf - a good story, well told.In this case, we have a hero who is obsessed with a muse that appears to him through flames, hig... moreh end physics, office politics, and a potential escape from Hell for a trapped soul.It's a story well worth the time spent reading and a tantalizing promise of new worlds from Scalzi. less

A serious short story that is, to me, a story of obsession. Very well written. A satisfying read.

I really enjoyed this short story. I wish it would have been expanded into a full novel.
