A nice collection with both very good ones and the opposite. I have noted a few authors that I'm very curious about. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the chance to read this book.

It is always interesting to read authors in their national context, some of whom I was surprised to discover were Canadian. Highlights were Cory Doctorow’s compassionate and hopeful “The Canadian Miracle”, which heads this impressive anthology, A.C. Wise’s “Manic Pixie Girl” featuring a bad-ass Tinker-bell doing the work to be a better person, and Amal El-Mohtar's "John Hollowback & the Witch" is a darker story about gaslighting and restitution.

Thank you to NetGalley and Ansible Press for an ARC of this book. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I usually love Anthologies, but sadly this one was a bit of a miss for me. There were a handful of stories that were really good, but also some that I deeply disliked. Getting a few stories in and then reading about the brutal r@pe and torture of a young innocent girl, really set the tone for the rest of the book for me. (The story was The Girl Who Cried Diamonds)

The length of the stories was excellent, and they generally took about 10-15 minutes to read. None of them felt like they dragged on too long, which was really nice.

I appreciate that there was a lot of poetry in this anthology! That is very rare to find in anthologies, and I loved all the poems. They were the highlight of the book, and what kept me reading to the end.

I wish I had loved this anthology more, but it just wasn't the book for me. I deeply appreciate the opportunity to read it, and I hope it will be a better choice for someone else.

A great collection of books, bringing together Candian Fantasy and Science Fiction. I particularly enjoyed the story by Amal El-Mohtar, John Hollowback and the Witch. It tackled a lot of issues and was also well written, with interesting concepts and ideas presented to the reader. I would recommned the story to others and there are also plenty of other stories which will appeal to readers of all tastes.

I have never been disappointed by one of these collections, and this is no exception. Some of my favorite writers are here, and I found some new favorites. The variety is great, with some stories that feel almost current and others that have so much imagination. There was a lot of humor, too. Thanks to much to NetGalley for letting me read this.
