2,28 star avergae out of 5 for all stories, but I still thoroughly enjoyed getting snippets of various cultures and stories from authors I've never heard of. Personally my top 5, in no particular order is:

• Limbs, Waubeshig Rice
• Kushtuka, Mathilda Zeller
• Hunger, Phoenix Boudreau 
• Collections, Amber Blaeser-Wardzala 
• Before I go, Norris Black

And an honorable mention to Darcie Little Badger, who wrote "The scientist's horror story", because I enjoyed her writing style here as much as I did when I read her book "Elatsoe".
