I read a little over half the stories and skimmed/skipped the rest.
Only a couple of stories really stood out to me: Wizards of Perfil and the one about the seven librarians. Can't remember the name.
The rest either made no sense or were made for like middle-schoolers/overly dramatic teenagers.
I really liked the Wizards of Perfil and would actually read a full story of this. Same with the seven librarians.
I stopped on a story about a girl and her sister getting painted for her sister's wedding or something. Idk. I got bored and have found so few good gems in this book I dropped it. I skimmed Hives, and Quill. Neither really stood out to me.
Usually books that rate this low I usually remove from my shelves (unless they are a part of a highly rated series). This one I'm keeping for the two short stories I mentioned.
