I really, really loved this!
There’s so much diversity and representation.
We have short stories that are set in well known worlds like The Scarlet Women by Libba Bray (Gemma Doyel), A Royal Affair by V.E. Schwab (Shades of Magic) and Longer Than The Threads of Time by Zoraida Cordova (Brooklyn Brujas). I rated most of the short stories in this collection 4 stars, only a few got a 3. We have a science fiction heist story, a magical realism male/male breakup story, a modernized genie story, etc..
I did get an early NetGalley e-arc and unfortunately Dhonielle Clayton’s story wasn’t included but I’m definitely buying a copy when this releases and will read it then!

This book was received as an ARC from Random House Children's - Crown Books for Young Readers in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

I have been waiting for a collaboration like this in a very long time. Each story was grasping to the eye and you could not help but to read all of them in a short time. This book really takes you away and makes you part of the stories and along for the ride. Learning that this is the fifth installment from these brilliant authors featured makes me more excited to read these collaborations and be on the journey too. I know our teen book club will have a blast talking about this book and I can't wait to be a part of it.

We will consider adding this title to our YA collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.
