This is the second "We Need Diverse Books" collection I've read after Fresh Ink. This was a decent collection of stories, of course some a bit more standout than others.
My favorites would include:
Cristal y Ceniza - Wonderful take on Cinderella, a fairy tale that usually doesn't really intrigue me, but I love the updates to this one.
The Takeback Tango - A story following the reclamation of treasured artifacts from a museum, a great warranted heist ensues.
The Weight - Just vibed with the voice and storytelling in this one.
The Coldest Spot in the Universe - Absolutely heartbreaking and slightly terrifying as we watch a teen's final moments before succumbing to a dying earth and an alien race studying her notes long after she has passed.
Longer Than the Threads of Time - The ending alone. Ooof.
Habibi - Such great distinct voices with a lot of heart.
