A review by emmagrace
Silk & Steel: A Queer Speculative Adventure Anthology by Janine A. Southard

adventurous lighthearted medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? N/A
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

Hard to review an anthology with such a mixed bag of short stories. The ones I enjoyed were:
Margo Lai's Guide to Dueling Unprepared by Alison Tam;
Elinor Jones vs. the Ruritanian Multiverse by Freya Marske;
Little Birds by Cara Patterson;
In the Salt Crypts of Ghiarelle by Jennifer Mace;
and The Parnassian Courante by Claire Bartlett.
