Pick Your Potion is a collection of primarily speculative fiction short stories that vary in length from as short as one page to as long as twenty-six. The tone also varies, with some quite humorous while others are twisted and dark and a bit unsettling.  While a number of them were well-rounded, others felt incomplete, more like they should have been the start of something bigger rather than the short stories they were.

It can be difficult to rate or review something that’s so varied, and it’s hard to rate individual stories without giving away too much when they’re so short. There were some stories that I really loved, some that I found interesting and enjoyed even if I didn’t love them, and some that just didn’t work for me or maybe I just didn’t get. I’ve been debating a lot about my rating for this anthology and I think overall it’s a 3.5 for me.

I received a free ARC from BookSirens, but my review is unbiased and left voluntarily.
