It's so refreshing when a collection of short stories is composed of all winners. I could read a novel of each of these stories. Kim Fu does a great job giving you just enough in the middle of an already established world to not leave you feeling frustrated there isn't more, but keeping enough to herself that you sort of wish there were.

A really well written and edited collection of short stories. Each story is slightly twisted away from reality and leans into the feelings and emotions of an event rather than the actions of an event.
