I would give this anthology a 3.5. The premise of the collection was promising, but many of the stories fell flat. Out of the two dozen featured stories, around 8 struck a chord with me, 6 were good, 2 were misplaced poems, 6 felt as if there were no resolve, and I was completely unable to follow the other 2. To avoid spoilers, I’ll let you decide what stories fit into those categories for you.

Overall, I would recommend reading this collection, if only to broaden your horizons.
