Foreshadow: Stories to Celebrate the Magic of Reading and Writing YA by Nova Ren Suma, Emily X.R. Pan
4.0
Foreshadow is so much more than just a collection of short stories. It's a deep dive into the art of storytelling and the magic behind the craft. We get to read 13 unique short stories written by new, underrepresented voices in YA fiction. Stories that range from science fiction, fantasy and gothic fairytales to contemporary, dystopian and magical realism. There's a story for every type of reader, and I fell a little bit in love with the magic hidden in between these pages.
Just when you thought it couldn't get any better, we also get an in-depth analysis written by the editors of this anthology that explore the different themes, symbolisms, motifs, and other elements of the story.
As someone who loves to read beyond the pages and learn all there is to know about a story, these short but relevant discussions were invaluable to me, as I'm sure they'll be to future readers alike! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves discovering new, diverse voices and also enjoy wildly unique stories.
A big thank you to Algonquin Books for providing me with an ARC!
