5.0

Usually while reading literary journals or anthologies, my enthusiasm for any given volume is based around a few standout pieces. This is one of those rare journals where even with the pieces that weren't to my taste, it was impossible to deny how well-written they were. And also, interrogating matters of taste was basically the theme of Issue 12, so having a couple of pieces not jam with my tastes was totally on point. Every piece was enjoyable, or at the very least, an experience. The level of craft in evidence here was amazing when I went back to read more carefully. I have several new writers and artists whose work I'll be following after finishing Issue 12, and I'll definitely be reading more from the F(r)iction Series in the future.
