5.0
This is a collection of essays written by sf/f fans, about finding or not finding representation of part of their identities in sf/f.
This is the second volume, and I liked it better than the first one. I'm not sure if it had more variety, or more depth in most of the essays, or maybe a combination of both. I suspect Hines had more personal essays to choose from in compiling this volume.
They can be heartbreaking to read. They can be inspiring to read. They'll open your eyes to looking at the sf/f you're consuming in a different way.
I highly recommend this book to anyone, but specifically to sf/f creators, writers, artists, editors, publishers.
