adventurous
dark
tense
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I really enjoyed this read! I loved all the BookTuber’s challenges for the authors. It was also interesting how the authors played out the challenges. Most of the time, I was shocked that I was reading a short story for a villain! I am not kidding! I would get repeated shocked and taken aback when something happens that is the significant moment that the villain turns evil!

Sadly this fell short for me. I was expecting much bigger and better things to be honest. I loved a third of the stories, felt indifferent about another third, and really didn't like the remaining third.
The best story by far was Death Knell by Victoria Schwab. Is there anything she can't do?!

Overall it was kind of boring and i slimmed through it but some of the stories were AMAZING
For example, Death Knell was my FAVORITE because i always love the idea of impersonating death and giving it a face
And The Sea Witch was pretty good, but it wasn’t my favorite.
Every single idea in this book was phenomenal and I was amazing at how good these stories came out based on the prompts. Like, these are genius stories.
Other good ones were Julian Breaks Every Rule because of the psychopath idea and I just really like that and Indigo and Shade was pretty good as well.
ALSO THIS IS A SIGNED COPY SO LIKE 🖤🖤🖤

No. Decisamente no. Terribile.
L'idea sarebbe (e dico sarebbe) stata anche molto carina, ma forse non sono più nel target giusto (anche se altri YA mi piacciono ancora, quindi è proprio questo libro il problema).
Altra cosa: NON far scrivere nulla a booktubers e simili. per carità, bravissimi a parlare di libri eh, ma scrivere è un'altra cosa. E decisamente non gli appartiene.

The stories ranged in quality. Some I really liked, some were okay & one I completely skipped bc I didn't like how it started or the writing style. I did not read any of the bloggers contributions, I only read the short stories.
