Dark Beyond the Stars by Elle Casey, Annie Bellet, Ann Christy
5.0
An over all very lovely and inspiring read! Two of the stories didn't click for me: Winner Takes All due to the main character being every toxic masculinity trope with rapist as the most prominent one and To Catch an Actor because of the story being mostly exposition - they weren't bad stories, mind you, just not my kind of stories. The rest I enjoyed and at times adored!
Containment dealt with machine sentience in a loving way that sent me on an emotional roller coaster. Nos Morituri Te Salutamus was action packed and sad. Protocol A235 was horrifying, which I'm sure it was meant to be. Carindi crushed me and made me want to read every story set in this universe (hoping for happiness for someone here!). Animal Planet felt like a good mixture of Star Trek and Black Mirror. The Event hit me right in the gut. Dragonet has dragons in space and inter-species communication and I want more! Lulu Ad Infinitum had me in deep though and curious about where that world might go. 2092 was also a quite emotional ride and made me want to learn more about The CHRONOS Files universe.
Oh, also the cover is gorgeous! Always love art by Julie Dillon <3
