I very much enjoyed this anthology, though I did like the first one better.

I'm not really into short stories a ton but I really thought there were some good ones in this book. I'd say about half of them I really liked. I gave one extra star for the many types of art work and each story has a different type of style that kept it fresh! ~Ashley

I am a huge fan of Kazu Kibuishi. His artwork and his stories are so beautiful, so I know when he pulls together an anthology it is going to be phenomenal and this one does not disappoint. Each story revolves around an island although every story is very different. And I’ll be honest for a second, most of the time when I read short story anthologies, there is at least one story that is just “EH” for me, but I really liked each of these and they all fit a different purpose: Rabbit Island by Jake Parker was fun but had a great message, Loah by Michel Gagne was an artistic masterpiece, Radio Adrift by Katie and Steven Shanahan is so different from the others, etc.
