As I big Octavia fan I was very excited to sit down and read this collection.  They aren't all bangers, but there are several that really make you stop and think and all have an important message to share.  It was neat reading some activists I was unfamiliar with and looking up their work in activism and the creative space.  Not all of these creators are writers, so some stumbles are to be expected.  If you know that going in and think about this more as a love letter to Octavia and social justice, you'll enjoy it much more.
