A review by siavahda
No Man of Woman Born by Ana Mardoll

5.0

Marvellous - lots of different ways to play with/subvert gendered prophecy, featuring a host of wonderful heroes from different backgrounds and with different gender identities. And anyone worrying that this is just a gimmick or something need not: these stories are fabulous, and would be even if their protagonists were all cis (though I definitely prefer them this way!) Mardoll's prose is clear running water and shining glass, and the imagination on display is creative, wry, thoughtful, and beautiful.

I can't pick a favourite story; I loved them all! The book as a whole is going on my favourites shelf IMMEDIATELY.

Strongly recommended for anyone looking for an unconventional but lovely collection of nonbinary fantasy!
