This anthology was such a good mix of science fiction, fantasy, and tying it all together--frontier characters and situations. OHP does an amazing job coming up with themes and these stories definitely pushed new boundaries in intriguing ways!
My favorite stories:
"As Far As They Could Go"--dystopian with a sentient car and an ending I didn't see coming! Wheww!
"Safe Travels"--another dystopian; this one hit me right in the feels
"The Children of Mars Are Starving"--science fiction I didn't want to end. And tardigrades!
"LYP-1"--science fiction with so many twists and turns as a group of scientists portal to another planet
"The Well in the Wood"--fantasy, ok in full transparency, this one is mine but I'm so happy with how the story turned out! It's a witchy ecological Secret Garden, and River and Apple were so much fun to write. Especially when they first meet as kids.
These are my top 5 but there are so many awesome stories in this collection!
