3.0
3.5 ⭐️. I broke down each of the stories as follows:
- Magical Girl Crisis: 2.75
- Heirloom: 3
- Mahk Jchi: 3.25
- Mu: 3.5
- Admonitions: 2.75
- An Unexpected Specter: 4
- The Woman Who Waits: 4
- Hungry: 3.25
- Requiem: 3.75
- Bon Voyage My Chains: 4.5
(The .25 and .75 are more because I couldn’t decide between two numbers, usually a whole number and a .5). My main and really only complaint about this anthology is that most of the stories felt like introductions or somehow unfinished. Like they were missing the beginning or some exposition. They weren’t bad, and they were all well-drawn, but I felt like I A) didn’t know the characters, and B) needed more background for the situation to have full weight. I would have paid extra for each story to have just a few more pages.
