So is this the same as reading the four short stories? I cant understand why authors are trying to make things more confusing with episodes, and then a book that's all the episodes, or maybe it has more?

Shaun I read it as just different parts and it did not have an episodic feel to me and if I didn't know that's how it was originally released I wouldn't have known it was serialized.

In saying that this didn't have the feel of reading a novel. It felt like reading an incomplete story that left me not caring how it ended.
Edward Rosenfeld Most likely this is done at the behast of the publisher....and as a task made easier for the suthor....
Judy The episodes/novellas are told from different perspectives, but all driving an overall plot. I think it makes a lot of sense to structure it this way. Each episode has a self-contained story but when read all together make a bigger over-arching story. It's the separate-but-related structure that I enjoyed in The Human Division and Redshirts too.

That said, I waited for all four episodes to be released in a single volume this time. As much as I enjoyed The Human Division, the logistics of having 13 ebook and audio book files is a pain.
