10/10Įspjismos by Dove Salvatierra – slow and simmering, a tale of old fears and new loneliness and growing into hope.

I loved loved LOVED how haron-davis gave a middle finger to how magical-bargain stories usually go I loved the healthy selfishness and the sharp edges and how much the MC deserves the magic they ask for. haron-davis – if this story were a person, I would dance with them and twirl them. The way the blurred lines between gender echoed the blurry boundary between monster and not-monster? *chef’s kiss* 10/10 It fit perfectly into its page count, but I would love to see it expanded a little into a novella. I would happily devour a series of novels, or novellas, if Mitchell decided to expand Daisy’s story! 10/10īite the Hand by Nik Traxler–Pinar Ateş Sinopoulos-Lloyd – dreamy and surreal and gorgeous, like honey dripping from broken glass. Daisy, the MC, is fucking epic, and the take on and description of magic was beautiful.

Origin Story by Saundra Mitchell – this is hands-down the best story in the book, so I’m not surprised they decided to open with it! A ‘trailer trash’ enby kid has been kicked out of magic school, but their adventures aren’t over. Initial thoughts: a few of these were incredible, but most were fairly meh. An anthology of trans+nonbinary fantasy? Written by all trans+nonbinary authors? HIT ME!
