4.0

As with many anthologies, it's hard to give a rating. I would say on average I enjoyed 80% of what I read, hence the 4 stars!

Similar to many other reviewers, the longest piece was my least favourite. It hung clearly on the side of sci-fi in my mind, rather than horror or thriller. It also was a little confusing in the world-building.

Loved the variety of stories. Iqsinaqtutalik Piqtuq: The Haunted Blizzard, and also Utiqtuq were the standouts for my tastes!
