Buffalo is the New Buffalo by Chelsea Vowel

3.0

Rating a book of short stories is challenging. Some of these stories I would give five stars to, others four, and a few three.

The footnotes in the first story were distracting and detracted from the worldbuilding, so I stopped reading them. They would have made a good part of the analysis post-story.

I LOVE how the penultimate story brought all the stories together into the same world. A lot of the worldbuilding was reminiscent of N.K.Jemisin’s work, and as a short story collection, it was nearly as satisfying to me as ‘How Long til Black Future Month”
