Slightly disappointed in this one - it's clearly aimed at a younger audience than I thought, although that doesn't excuse the rushed pace and editing errors that appeared in far too many of these pieces. Nonetheless, I know that several of the authors featured here do much better when writing full-length stories so I wouldn't let this put me off checking out more of their work, and it's great to see so much representation of neurodiverse, disabled, and non-white main characters - more of this, please!
