[Sylviae Edgerton]

The thing about this 5 volume set is that you get to read a variety of writers from a wide range of diverse backgrounds, interests, culture perspectives and fields. I particularly resonated with some more than others, but even the writers with whom I had less natural affinity with taught me things I would not have been exposed to otherwise.

[Eryn Carrington]

This book was so beautifully written. It makes you truly consider the beings around you, and how you interact with them every day. I would personally say that this book should be a must-read for everyone.

Anthologies are always hard to review. I LOVED: Skinfolk, Kinfolk, and the Kinship of Oneness; From Logos to Bios; and Humans’ Next of Kin. I didn’t care for Poets and Hunters. There are many messages in these pages that will guide me throughout my life.
