I really enjoyed this. I knew I would because I like so many of the authors and time travel romance is exactly my comfort genre. I was not disappointed and most enjoyed some of the authors that were new to me, so that was a pleasant surprise. I’ll be seeking out their other works. There were some dark bits so take care of the content alerts, but all in all a joyful read that filled my heart and engaged my imagination.

I like nearly every story in this anthology. My favorites are those by Seanan McGuire, Sarah Gailey, Zen Cho, Sam J. Miller, and Alix E. Harrow.

Sam J. Miller’s story includes a non-detailed gay bashing that happens off page. Ellen Klage’s story has the main character swept up in a 50s gay bar raid. This story is the reason I tagged SA and police brutality.
