I like framed short stories like this, and always enjoy queer and inclusive stories. The framing story felt a little clumsy from time to time, but it was intriguing. I really wish we got more stories out of that box!

Anima's arc feels more like a frame story that outgrew itself than like a complete tale of its own, but the world crafted and the other lives tapped by the daring narrative make this one worth the visit.
