3.5
“I love The Raven Tower, and many stories here were from that universe 🤩. But there were also a lot of other, unconnected or loosely connected stories, each in its own way creative and fun. And no truly weak ones, either!
Overall, this was a pretty even collection.
And I want another one, this time set in the Raven Tower’s world of selfish gods entirely!
And then one more, this time set in the universe of Imperial Radch. Preferably featuring aliens – this author does truly alien aliens incredibly well.
Case in point, really.”
