Short story anthologies are a great way for readers to learn about a variety of authors in a brief period of time. Anthologies like Reading the Bones and Dark Matter have been especially helpful for me in finding Black sffh authors, and I'm glad that this is now available for a younger audience. I loved that so many stories featured sapphic characters. I had read many of the author's novels, and it was interesting to see how my predictions for the stories and how much I would like them held up. Even the stories I didn't care for touched on important topics about Black girlhood that I think would make them relatable and important to readers. My favorite stories were The Goddess Provides by L. L. McKinney, Letting the Right One In by Patrice Caldwell, Tender-Headed by Danny Lore, Kiss the Sun by Ibi Zoboi, and The Witch's Skin by Karen Strong. This was very close to getting 5 stars.
