Reign of Diamonds ~ 3.5/5 Felt Lacking, couldn't see the connection between the girls.
Flecha ~ 2/5 Too much world-building for such a short story
The First Day of Us ~ 3/5 Writing was very confusing at times, but the story was sweet.
The Tin Man ~ 2/5 Story feels unfinished, and everything takes place on earth.
This Is Our Manifesto ~2.75/5 Good story, but felt confusing due to short length.
Creatures of Kings ~ 3/5 Interesting premise, but too deep for the short amount of time and felt unfinished.

***Eterno ~ 4.25/5 Most definitely the best one yet. Not perfect and could’ve used more time, but definitely pulls of a wonderful story the best.
***White Water, Blue Ocean ~ 4.5/5 This one was very nice! Perfect length, and great fantasy elements.
Leyenda ~ 4.5/5 Very good! Writing was nice, themes were excellent, and was very nicely wrapped up.
Color-Coded ~ 3/5 Story was nice and sweet, but I wish the ending didn’t end that way.
Magical Offerings ~ 3.25/5 It was a good story, wasn’t spectacular but nothing to complain about.
Rogue Enchantments ~ 4.5/5 Very nice story, that was creative and fun!
Sumaiko y La Sirena ~ 3.75/5 Good, sweet story. Nothing to complain about.
River People ~ 3.25/5 Good story, nothing to complain about.
Moonglow ~ 2/5 I am so confused by this story. It also wasn't very magical in my opinion, or maybe that's the part I don't understand.
Killing El Chivo ~ 3.25/5 It was fine, but feel like it would be better emphasized as a larger book.
***Tame the Wicked Night ~ 4.25/5 A wonderful final story. Perfect magic tie-ins and the story was very sweet and romantic.
***My favorites looking back as of now.
Overall, what you would expect from a collection of short stories, some good, some bad, and one or two stand-outs. The main problem with this collection was I felt a lot of these stories were in over their heads and made either the world-building or lore too deep to be a short story.
