4.0

I love anthologies for the same thing that makes them so hard to review: the immense variety crammed into a single book. There are some amazing stories in here that captured my imagination for days after I finished them, and there's also some bland, forgettable filler. (Like—I’m sorry—everything by L. Ron Hubbard.) It averages out to an awesome collection. Personally, I'd buy this just for "Mara’s Shadow,” a thrilling blend of myth and medical sci-fi.

Side note: The illustrations seem lovely, but I get the sense that my old black-and-white Kindle display does not do them justice.

(I received a Kindle version of this book for free through a Goodreads giveaway.)
