I did not expect anything so consistently high-quality, fun, and varied. It's all from authors I had never heard of too! My reading list probably just ballooned. Thanks a lot.

As with any collection of short stories, there were some I liked better than others. This collection was quite good, I think there were only two stories that didn't catch me on some level and that I just skimmed. My top 5, in no particular order:
The Former Minions Support Group by Alanna McFall - Very fun premise, well done. Touching and entertaining at the same time.
The Storyteller's Sleight by Wren Wallis - A really impressive amount of world and character building in a relatively short story.
Skinwalker, Fast-Talker by Darcie Little Badger - A really enjoyable modern day coyote story
Episodes from the Abner-Mortimer Karmic War - Very different from the other stories, but engaging and with a really well done unreliable narrator.
How I Became Coruscating Queen of All the Realms, Pierced the Obsidian Night, Destroyed a Legendary Sword, and Saved My Heart's True Love by Baker & Dovey - Ridiculous and over the top in the best way, as is fairly evident from the title.
