New Suns: Original Speculative Fiction by People of Color by Nisi Shawl

It's always hard to rate an anthology, because few people will like or dislike all the stories.
Compared to other anthologies, then, I'll gove ot the four.

Good variety, some strong anchor stories, some that knock you back on your heels to think "well, THAT's a new perspective!"

Some have brought a bit of flavor from another culture, and that's good.

Short stories are not for me, some were alright but the book doesn't pull you back in.

Another wonderful and thought-provoking collection of stories written by POC authors.

I liked a few stories, but there were just too many I didn’t enjoy in a row to keep going

challenging inspiring mysterious slow-paced

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