Rating compilations is always challenging because they are often a mixed bag. There were a few essays I skipped because they were putting me to sleep and a few that were really really engaging and thought provoking.

A bit hit-and-miss, as most anthologies are. There were a bunch of things I'd already read on the Tor.com website, some of which were fantastic. Some essays really drilled into the specifics of a particular work or piece of media, and these largely depended on my familiarity with the work in question. For example, I enjoyed the overview of Galadriel's history in Tolkein's work, but the one on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine was too deep in the weeds for my knowledge of that show.
