Strong character development: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Thank you to NetGalley for the eARC of this book. All opinions are my own.

I honestly enjoyed most of this one. The stories span a wide range of genres and vibes, so there's something for everyone. The opening story was definitely one of the strongest. The alien one was absolutely wild. I enjoyed the diversity of perspectives, genres, character dynamics, and types of sex. There were threesomes and LARPing situations and nonhuman characters. There were contemporary, historical, and fantasy settings. There were a couple sapphic and trans characters. There was a woman dom in an orgy situation (actually one of the better stories, I think). Obviously none of these stories have developed characters or settings or anything like that, but I was impressed with several authors' ability to create a vibrant world and then write a fun sex scene and then leave it at that.

Anyway, if all you want is a short sexy story with a bit of fun window-dressing (and then another one and another one and another one), definitely give this anthology a go.
