Absolutely loved this collection of short stories about trans characters and their magic. These were so well-written, I don’t know that I’ve read a short story collection with so many examples of great writing. These authors pretty much across the board were able to find that balance between giving enough for a short story and almost wishing for more because you love the characters and the story, but still being satisfied where things are left. My favorite story was “Dragons Name Themselves” because it was freaking adorable.

I think I was not the target group, so I didn't enjoy the stories as much as I probably would have at 12-14. Genderella was probably my favourite out of the stories.

Excellent for those of us who love a good queer fantasy story, but be prepared to skip a few of the stories if they aren't interesting in the first 5-10 pages

loverrbboy's review against another edition

none of the stories here really stood out to me and felt samey. i’ve never read an anthology of short stories like this, but the premise had me really excited!! one story about rowing was an interesting read but seemed a bit heavy handed. this is aimed at a younger audience than me.. everyone seemed so young. even the one about raising a baby dragon wasn’t enjoyable to me fsr. How

 i’m glad it exists, but it’s not for me!

The introduction made me teary, I’m glad this collection exists. I really enjoyed these short stories, some of them should be full length novels!!
