I did not think the story really needed the court scenes all that much. It made it a little beat over the head and longer. However, I loved how full this book was of story and viewpoints. I feel would be great discussion. Still very very relevant book right now in the world of current and upcoming AI. Are we asking "should we" and how maybe "not to" or are we just sitting back and seeing what happens cause it looks fun? I feel this book might be harder to find now but I am glad I went back and finished it so much. I hope those with access will check it out.

I loved this little book so very much!
It is so very sweet with the illustrations. I love when I learn something new too.
My favorite thing about this book is that it's message is so strong!
I would love to get this book for several of my very young family members and even for one of my adult family members who had such obstacles and troubles the last couple years.
I am thankful to publishers and netgalley for allowing me to read and review this. My honest review of it is I love it. I hope I can get a physical copy of it at some point to hold onto and share. Beautiful!

This was a very cool horror short story collection. I enjoyed it. I would have liked a little more storyline to some of them but that is how it is a lot of times with short stories. I think others may like it even more than me. For example, I do not care for military themed stories much so someone who does would like that story in it better. I thought it was crazy that I liked the one of the shortest ones in the book. I say give it a try it may just be exactly your kind of stories. I loved the cover as well. Pretty fast read which I love.

Horror, fantasy, mythology, thriller, paranormal, sci-fi and easy to read! All my favorites in one book? This book starts off with a mystery to solve and spookiness right away. I loved the camp feel of this book. The games kind of reminded me of "alice in borderland". I was interested and never was putting the book down. I got invested in each persons story and view. There was even a little bit of romance. I love the way the mythology was woven into this story but it did not beat you over the head with it. I found it creepy, fun, and i loved the sci fi bits as well made more content in the story to dive into. I really enjoyed this journey.
