pastelkerstin's review against another edition

medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.5

A mixed bag. A lot of it sits uncomfortably with me because it hasn't aged well (racial stereotypes galore, the ableism in the second story serves a purpose but it's still uncomfortable to read). The first story was really good though.
