As with most anthologies, it was a mixed experience. Some of the writing was so creative, and inclusive, and brilliant. There was one story with a poetic, immersive style that totally captivated me. Others were far weaker on plot/characters and tropey-ness. Overall, I loved the idea and ambition but wished for slightly better curation & editing of some of the stories. Also - some needed a bit more length.
