Fascinating and provocative, the type of fantasy writing that seems like pure realism. Some stories were better than others imo. I really liked the first few and the last one, but not the ones in the middle as much. Good stuff about fish :)

A beautiful story about breaking apart from what is expected of you because of how you were born in the world. Absolutely loved it, and loved hearing LeVar Burton read it.
