• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

Definitely an enjoyable read, with a collection of amazing authors and succinct stories that capture the spirit of each series. I would recommend having read at least the first book in these authors' series before reading this, as they will provide some context and make the easter eggs more interesting. My only criticism is that some stories aren't entirely stand alone and don't conclude completely- which is a flaw in short story writing.
