More slow-paced than I expected. I don't know if it's because sci-fi is new to me and this was just a rough starting point or if it was the format that threw me off. Some of the short stories felt lacking, like they weren't supposed to be short form in the first place, and some are just generally weaker than the other stories. Will return to this next time though.

Okay so overall. It is a mixed bag wherein the quality of each story varies. I am however happy and satisfied  that some good Filipino Science Fiction exists
