I mostly read this for Hastjarjanto, she's a brilliant fantasy writer and her story did not disappoint. I could go in detail about the stories I didn't like but I will give them debut author syndrome to everyone and not bury them under the ash.

I'll just rate the stories I did like:

"The Last Flame" by Marisca Pichette: 5/5 - Simple, but oh so effective. Keep it up!

"Our Lady of Silence" by Christina Ladd: 4.9/5 - Where was this fairy tale when I was growing up!?

"Hunahpu" by Claudia Recinos: 5/5 - Write a book about this, pls

"Whispered Navajo" by Bernado Villela: 4/5 - I liked the concept, prose was a little confusing, but effective story all the same

"Bone Mother" by Daphne Fama: 3/5 - Some foreshadowing made it too predictable, however, I loved the concept of the story

"No Mother of Frankenstein" by Tessa Hastjarjanto: 4.5/5 - As usual, superb, not much to comment really, just loved the story!

Still, even though majority of the stories weren't for me, the ones I did like slayed hard. Good message behind all of them, some were too on the nose what they wanted to convey and why this is deducted a star. Other than that, it's pretty solid. Definitely pick this up if you're an anthology lover

4/5
