5.0

I highly enjoyed this anthology. Oftentimes an anthology will have a lot of misses for me but there were so many I really liked and several that I absolutely loved. I am so glad I picked this one up. 

Ones I liked:

• The Girls of St. X by Simo Srinivas
• Humanities 215 by Jo Kaplan
• Hugging The Buddha's Feet by Amber Chen
• In Vast And Fecund Reaches We Will Meet Again by Cyrus Amelia Fisher
• Preservation of An Intact Specimen by Premee Mohamed
• Those Shining Things Are Out of Reach by Octavia Cade
• Those Who Teach Pay Knowledge Forward by R. J. Joseph

Not every story was 5 stars, but they were all at least 3 stars. I particularly loved Hope, the final grouping.

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
