Tldr; Besides roughly 4 stories being not great, this book is such a fun and heartbreaking read. It even includes the short story that eventually becomes The Inheritance of Orquidea Divina!!

This was a really cool anthology! Some of the stories weren't necessarily my thing, but there were more than enough gems to make up for it. The writing styles, stories, and characters were very diverse, and the theme of the anthology was really interesting to me. I felt like this was also a really good sampler of the work of all the contributors, and I now have a little list of writers I need to read more from! The only reason this is only 4 stars is the presence of one story I felt actually detracted from the anthology (just my opinion), but other than that, it was a good read.
