Where the Stars Rise: Asian Science Fiction and Fantasy by Fonda Lee
5.0
I just loved this anthology of science fiction and fantasy short stories by authors of Asian descent or ancestry.
The story of the man who loved his father so much he tried to keep his soul alive inside a robot, the one about the displaced mermaid, the woman who remembers all of her past lives and realises the people carving out an existence on the moon; all wonderful stories that highlight humanity in fantastical ways.
It also highlighted that, though we may come from different cultures we are all the same. We all want to have a home, be happy and to love and be loved.
