A young woman discovers she’s a child of the sea forced to live out her days on land; two princesses are left on a desolate moon to battle to the death; and, a farmer falls in love with an ancient monster he is meant to slay. These are just a few stories featured in this collection. Written by Latinx authors whose roots range from Central and South America and beyond, these pages are rich with Latin American cultures, folklore, and languages. And the diversity does not stop there. Reclaim the Stars features LGBT+ characters and romantic relationships, including nonbinary protagonists, polyamory, and more! 

While I have my personal favorites within this collection, I am grateful that I own the book so I can return to any of the stories whenever I choose. The world-building across the collection is impressively sophisticated for narratives set with a short-story scope. I’ve heard that science fiction and fantasy are particularly difficult genres to condense to short form work, but this collection makes it seem effortless! From space travel to brujas and magia, this is the perfect book for any speculative fiction lover.

I highly recommend this collection to YA and adult readers alike, especially if you are looking to find some sci fi or fantasy writers who may be new to you. I have already added a few novels by writers featured in Reclaim the Stars to my TBR wishlists because I cannot wait to enter their imagined worlds again.
