I love this anthology. As I said before, I have a soft spot for nerdy teenagers.
My favorites are “Requiem of Souls,” “Spirit-Filled,” “Catalyst Rising,” “Wolf Tracks,” “Earth Is Ghetto,” “Betty’s Best Craft,” “Our Joy, Our Power” (which kicked the book off real well), and “The Book Club.” The latter, I have to say, felt like it could be an intro to a novel, so I would definitely like to see that fleshed out more.
If anything, this is one of those anthologies with a solid overall collection. The ones I mentioned specifically stuck with me more.
