4.0

I requested this book because there were interviews with some of my favorite fantasy/sci-fi writer.
I'm happy I read it because it was great to learn something new about them and their work.
I wasn't disappointed and read the book as fast as I could.
Recommended!
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

As with nearly any collection, some of these interviews I loved and some I was not so excited about, although it was interesting to compare and contrast the different authors' responses. I think this collection is worth reading for writers as well as readers of speculative fiction. Actually, some of the interviews have useful advice for any creative.

I appreciated the selection of interviewees, which included authors of many styles of speculative fiction, including several women. I enjoyed the opportunity to learn more about some familiar favorites, as well as being introduced to a few authors I didn’t know. Highlights for me included David Brin, Kij Johnson, Peter Beagle, and Connie Willis. I found these interviews quite amusing as well as insightful.

I also have some new books on my TBR list that were either written by the interviewees or recommended by them.

I was provided an ARC through NetGalley that I volunteered to review.
