Long Hidden: Speculative Fiction from the Margins of History by Rose Fox, Daniel José Older
4.0
Hmmm...
This collection was mighty interesting. I really enjoyed most of the stories in here. There were some that honestly weren't that great (happens in every anthology let's be honest), but I also couldn't quite understand the inclusion of some stories. Most anthologies you can tell what the trajectory of the story order is, where it's time, period,location, genre, theme, SOMETHING. I also thought it was interesting that a lot of the africana/latindad (though to be honest there weren't that many, but I could be wrong. I didn't google most of the authors included in Long Hidden). Anywho...after a point, it just felt like a chore to finish towards the middle of the book- with some good stories here and there, though I will say that the last 3-4 stories at the end SAVED this anthology for me.
Maybe I was in the wrong state of mind to read this but it pretty good for all the complaints! :-P
