A nice solid collection with only two stories that tanked for me. Neither of them was really horrible either, they just both suffered a bit from the authors getting a little heavy-handed with the message of the stories. Not much in the way of diversity, which is not much of a surprise given the publication date.

Alternative fiction always intrigues me so I was happy to spend time dipping into this book. Some of the stories seemed uneven, or maybe that was just that the topic did not interest me as much as others.

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
