I mean this is just indescribable. Unbelievably phenomenal and I’m in awe. I had extremely high expectations that were well matched. 

This anthology features short stories, poetry, and artwork centered around angels - but it’s also so much more that that. It’s very queer and filled with beautiful love and acceptance. There’s heavy topics as well, though, and TW are provided at the beginning of each story - which I thought was a lovely touch. Various genres are covered as well, so there’s something everyone can enjoy.

I loved this so much. Each piece was incredible: filled with beautiful prose, striking imagery, and a sense of great passion. I didn’t want to stop reading this, but I also slowed myself down so I could absorb it to the fullest. Such a wonderful reading experience and I can’t recommend this highly enough. I’ve also found some authors I definitely need to check out. 

I want this book just inscribed on my bones.
