Midway Relics and Dying Breeds by Seanan McGuire

4.0

 
Midway Relics and Dying Breeds is one of several Seanan McGuire short stories that are available to read for free (love it). It's a standalone science fiction tale, so anyone can jump right in and enjoy it.

This is the tale of one (large) family and their bio-engineered carnival. More accurately, it is the story of their conflicts, struggles, and determination to hold onto what they love the most. While the setting may not be based in reality, this tale's core will feel very human and resonate with readers.

I enjoyed Midway Relics and Dying Breeds. First, the world and premise are fascinating – I would love more! Second, our protagonist's struggles are very real and human, despite the out-of-this-world setting. Seanan McGuire is so talented at making fantastical yet relatable characters; I love it.
