Really beautiful and well-written anthology of Indigenous and LGBTQ+ sci-fi stories that are complex and incorporates themes such as colonialism, identity, and memory.
I really appreciated Love After the End not just for the well-written stories, but also for the heartfelt happy endings that we get. It feels like Indigenous stories so rarely get to be happy so I loved that we got that here.
Overall, loved nearly all the stories in this collection, though a few didn't really manage to make a mark. Personal favs include The Ark of the Turtles Back, Andwanikadjigan, and Eloise :)
