Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“It’s easy to be transported by each entry’s rich details and compelling characters, but this page-turner’s biggest success is in how veteran authors simultaneously address the themes through traditional fantasy tropes and current reality.” School Library Journal (starred review)
“This is punk-rock, DIY fantasy, full of harsh reality and incandescent magic…a masterful anthology.” Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
