Tales of Light and Life
by Cavan Scott, Zoraida Córdova, George Mann, Daniel José Older, Charles Soule, Lydia Kang, Claudia Gray, Tessa Gratton, Justina Ireland
Tales of Light and Life is a mixed bag of eras and ages and characters, and the enjoyment of the reader will wildly vary depending on how invested you are in each of them.
In some cases, I loved visiting some characters again and having insights on their lives before, during or after their time on page. In other cases, it was cute at most but didn't add much to what we knew.
I picked up this book mostly for the Bell and Burryaga tale and it was beautifully written, but I still found it odd that such a big issue for one of the main character in the main storyline was solved in an anthology book.
Individual ratings:
Really good: Marda, Vernestra, Bell and Burry
A fun addition: Axel, Affie, Keeve, Amadeo
Cute but boring: Rooper, Ram and Zeen
