"Geiger's Escape" by Kajetan Kwiatkowski - Do not read this story if you still want to hate spiders afterward. Haven't read spiders so thoroughly humanized since Children of Time. I totally felt for Geiger's frustration. A great scifi story in the vein of The Secret of NIMH.
"Perfectly Painted Lies" by Brittany Rainsdon - A dystopia about creating art and the power art has on the world. I loved the creepy vibes that kept me guessing. I see that the author just won 2nd place in the Writers of the Future contest this quarter! Look forward to seeing more great stuff from her.
"The Best Chocolate Cake Has a Touch of Bitter" by Alice Towey - Obvs don't read while hungry. Perfectly captures that particular transition from childhood into adulthood when you realize that you can't just follow your friend's dreams. You have to make your own.
"Veins of my Sister" by Marie Croke - This one didn't quite land for me. The complex relationship between sisters and what defines loyalty were spot on, but the ending felt like a bit of a cop-out rather than the confrontation it deserved.
"The Dance of Swords" by JC Kang - A character study with some real tension to it and a very ATLA ending, which was a real relief after reading The Poppy War in the same month.
Excerpt from Dragon's Reach by JA Andrews - The prologue felt very cinematic but a little generic, but I was more interested by the first chapter. Fantasy thievery is such a great genre.

The cover was the best part with the exception of dance of swords and dragon's reach
This was a disappointing collection. Some of the other stories were okay. I didn't finish the rest of the stories

Nice grouping
All good stories, some from known authors, some from authors I need to know. Thanks to the editors and contributors for making my spring a little brighter.
