solid speculative fiction with heavy queer representation. i liked the stranger, more horror-tinged stories more than the others. the one about the living patriotic flag was kinda hokey and the big imagined performance in a non-existent hotel felt like bad jazz age fanfiction, but when it hits, it hits! where oaken hearts do gather is the one in here she won a nebula for, and she definitely earned it.
