emotional informative reflective medium-paced

This should be required reading for every Canadian and American (and everyone else but especially these 2 countries). 

I don’t think I can put into words how this essay collection changed my view on things. 

Elliott also didn’t just use these essays to take a stance on things; she used them as ways to take a stance but also to tell stories from her experiences. She was vulnerable while also taking a critical stance. You get to see into her mind as she’s writing. 

Please pick this up.

Were you an H20 fan as a kid? Do you like fantasy books with sapphic characters??? Well this is THE crossover for you! 

I enjoyed this. It’s not a favourite but it caught my attention straight away and I wanted to know how it ended! 

I found the writing to be a little repetitive, but overall it’s an enjoyable read and I will most likely pick up the sequels

*I received an arc copy from Rose* 

I don’t want to attach a star rating to this anthology because if I’m being honest, I only read a few stories in their entirety. Anthologies are hit or miss for me. This one, in the stories I read, I loved them! But the others that I skim read, I didn’t. I couldn’t even tell you what happened in those stories if I’m being honest. 

But if you want a fantasy anthology that does feature some stories with LGBTQ+ characters, this is the anthology for you. (Disco Spring Fever is my favourite)
