Thoroughly enjoyed the second volume in the Mormon Steampunk Anthology series. There's lots of pulpy, good, Mormon-inflected fun throughout. There's a wide range of stories once again, with a little something for everyone. I didn't love all of the stories, but similar to the first volume I appreciated seeing what they had to say about what Mormonism is by way of what it might have been.
A few stories that I particularly enjoyed:
"Rachel's Prayer", Megan Rupp
"Sisters Sorenson and the Mechanical Man", Scott E. Tarbet
"The Miracle of the Gulls", D.J. Moore
"Solids Don't Evaporate", Mindie Erb
"By Ailad's Bootstraps", Kurt Kammeyer
I found myself moved by moments in these stories in particular and pondering their events still, some weeks after I finished reading them. Some good, thoughtful, pulpy fun.
