I got this book so I could read the Seanan McGuire short story (which is part of her Incryptid series that I devoured in Autumn last year). Her story, I read back in October. I hate having unfinished books so I read the rest this week.

It was ok. There were 2 authors I had heard of and read things by, and I enjoyed one of their stories. I enjoyed a few more (noted down the name of one to read their other books), and 1 story I skipped past entirely because I was so bored.

Ultimately, I read these books to complete series I’ve already read, and then I read the rest to discover new authors. I only found one more I’d pursue amongst this book, which is a bit disappointing but it’ll be worth it if I enjoy my new discovery.

I wish half stars were possible. 3.5 stars.

I enjoyed this more than I thought (I’m not a contemporary reader but a friend lent it so I thought I’d at least try it).

A very easy read with good writing style.
