A Phoenix First Must Burn: Sixteen Stories of Black Girl Magic, Resistance, and Hope by Patrice Caldwell

I always go into short story anthologies knowing it's a mixed bag of stories I'll love and stories that won't work for me. This anthology had very little of the latter - there were maybe two stories I found slightly confusing, but otherwise I enjoyed everything else.

My favorites:
- All the Time in the World by Charlotte Nicole Davis
- Letting the Right One In by Patrice Caldwell
- Melie by Justina Ireland
