A collection of short stories written by the famous author of the Divergent series as well as I Am Number Four.
I liked most of the stories. They are all written in a futuristic time period where there is advanced technologies and/or different species of beings besides just humans. The stories were all wonderful because they didn’t just upfront tell you everything you wanted to know, you had to finish the story to completely get an understanding of what was going on. Some stories definitely left you wanting more. Most stories would get a five star from me, with two of them getting only four stars just because they didn’t completely grip me. Overall; however, I very much enjoyed the entire collection and had a hard time putting the book down. A fast, entertaining read! Thank you, Veronica Roth for some amazing short stories!

I kept waiting for a story that push ed beyond just okay, but none of the stories I got through did that.

This book helped with my pre-sleep anxiety! Short stories from the future for the win. Every story was engaging and captured my interest. The first story was probably my favourite, but one thing I enjoyed about each story was the thread of hope and optimism in even the darkest of circumstances. Perfect pandemic reading, who knew.

Very dated and the short stories felt like you already needed to know a lot about the characters, like I was reading the third chapter of 6 different books. I only enjoyed the first two stories.
