I truly thought I was going to LOVE this book much more than I did. This is not to say I didn't enjoy it, however!
I think this honestly was a case of "It's me, not you." Most of the stories were great, and I even wished a few of them were longer, even full-length stories, to spend more time with the characters in their worlds. I think the reason this fell a little flat for me is because I'm not a huge short-story reader. I have a difficult time finding a good transitional pace between stories and sometimes find myself rushing through them.
All this being said, I still enjoyed reading these stories and exploring the variety of world-building and character creation. It was so nice to experience so many ace stories with other awesome rep, as well. I will definitely keep this book on my recommending radar.
