This anthology was a great mix of exploring gender identity and magic. All the stories felt similar in writing style, so they flowed well together. The world building was pretty exceptional for such short stories, I think there was only two worlds that left me confused.  
These were my fav stories: Origin Story, Dragons Name Themselves, The Hallow King, Genderella, Espejismos
I will say, this book felt daunting due to its length and slower pace. If you enjoy rich writing with a slower pace, you’ll probably enjoy this. Or if you just chose to read 1 story a week, I think this would be a really enjoyable book :) 
These stories gave me a new perspective to gender as a whole and I’m really glad I can look at it from a different perspective now. 
Despite all these wonderful things, slower paced books are just not my cup of tea, and I really struggled through the middle of these stories.
