- Reading
- Try one story at a time, pausing to compare writers’ voices and approaches to speculative ideas. Keep the option of moving on if a particular story’s tone or subject is not a good fit.
- Themes
- Imagined worlds and magic: The anthology presents nineteen original stories involving fantasy and science-fiction worlds, with “Old Magic” named as part of its imaginative scope. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The main consideration is variety: nineteen pieces may differ in voice, themes and emotional demands. Check each story as you go rather than assuming the whole collection has one consistent tone or level of intensity.
