3.5/5, mostly because some stories were incomprehensible and a couple just didn't really have endings at all...or plots really

It's always hard to rate anthologies because there are always stories I don't like and stories I do. However, this had way more 5 star stories than not, so I'm going with 5 stars!!!!! Especially since some of them have stuck with me

One of the best anthologies I've read in a while. This is a chunker but doesn't feel that way when reading. If you like YA Fantasy and short stories, add this one and enjoy.
