I will start off by saying that I did DNF the titular story, Stag Dance. However, my rating is based on the rest of the stories which I did finish and enjoyed.
I couldn't get into Stag Dance no matter how hard I tried and all the jargon pertaining to lumberjacks kept making it harder. It felt as if the story just kept dragging on so I had to move on. With that being said, I did really enjoy the other stories. I think Peters does a great job of taking a story and putting just enough characterization and background to deliver a quick, concise, and decently impactful story. I'm really curious to read Detransition, Baby and see how she's able to translate a story into longer form.
