The Fierce Reads Anthology: Volume 2 by Lish McBride, Marie Rutkoski, Ann Aguirre, Caragh M. O'Brien, Elizabeth Fama
4.0
Like the first Volume, this volume has short stories followed by teasers (first couple chapters) from the various author's forth coming books. Also the last two stories "The Witch of Duva" (which is GREAT) and "Glitches" appeared in the first volume.
Standouts in this volume for me were "Foundation" a love story set in at the end of the worl. "Departmnent of Alterations" - a more adult than young adult story, very chilling, somewhat like Handmaid's Tale meets Logan's Run.
My favorite, discounting "Duva", would be "Heads Will Rule" which is about an unicorn named Steve, his partner with an intersting get-up, and thier desire to put an end to something that despite the fantasy glosss that it is given here, is very familiar to the real world as well.
