Do Better gathers more than 20 stories set in the world of sorcerer/monster hunter/death god Marla Mason, heroine of the ten-book urban fantasy series that began with Blood Engines (2007) and concluded with Closing Doors (2017), including two pieces original to this collection: "Do Better," about Marla's hunt for an escaped demon (and some personal growth), and "The Four Horsepersons of the Eucatastrophe," which sends Marla on a supernatural road trip with an amoral trickster god who wants to be her best friend.If you like trains to the underworld, inexplicably adorable hellhounds, snake gods, stylish cloaks that are actually malign parasitic entities from beyond the multiverse, anthropophagic monsters, abyssal squid, assassins who specialize in killing immortals, and impatient women who punch people who really deserve punching, this is the collection for you.… (mer)

Do Better is a short story collection connected to the Marla Mason novels by T.A. Pratt.

Do Better collects more than twenty stories, about half of which center Marla, the rest focus on other characters from the series. The stories are much like the series: inventive and funny, a little bit creepy and, though you wouldn't necessarily expect it, very romantic. They are arranged in chronological fashion, with a short intro paragraph that places them in the wider context of the series (although they don't always stick with the canon 100%, a fact is well aware of - probably better than me). Those intros are very helpful, even for people who have read the entire series and might not remember everything very well. But they also mean that it's a bit tricky to read Do Better to get a feeling for whether one would want to delve into the series because they are riddled with spoilers (that goes for the rest of this review where I talk about each story as well). But for fans of the series, the stories here will be a satisfying addition to the series.
