I really loved this collection. It's too complicated to get into the message along with the beauty of each story but you can tell each was made with a lot of love a purpose. The first two stories, "The Memory Librarian" and "Nevermind" did feel a little bit more difficult to get into, but that may just be because they had the most work of introducing you to New Dawn. Either because of this or not, the last three stories are my favorite, my #1 fav being "Save Changes".
Moderate: Drug use, Forced institutionalization, Kidnapping, Transphobia, and Police brutality
