Overall this was a very good collection, and I'm thrilled that it was released as an audiobook.
I think [a:Diana Gabaldon|3617|Diana Gabaldon|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1213918339p2/3617.jpg] and I have very different tastes in short stories, though, because there are a few things included where I've read the collection they came from and didn't think they were the best in that collection. Not a complaint, just interesting.

Overall a fun read. I'm much more into science fiction than fantasy and started reading this without fully grasping the title and didn't realize it would be half fantasy, but I still enjoyed it. Some of the stories, specifically one with a certain aquatic creature, are "wtf?"-worthy, but the sci-fi is all tons of fun and I enjoyed most of the fantasy too.

"Bookstore at the End of America" and "The Time Invariance of Snow" were both five star works, I loved them. Otherwise, there were many stories (sci-fi especially) that felt repetitive of other included works. The stories themselves were well done.

As with all anthologies, some entries were amazing, some were ok, and one or two were boring. I love that I got introduced to so many authors and sci-fi publications previously unknown to me.
