Hear Me Roar Reviews
-
An anthology of short feminist SFF stories I read in order to prepare my 2016 Ditmar nominations. There were a couple of stories I didn't really enjoy, but that's usual for an anthology and it definitely hit more than it missed. All the stories were of an excellent standard and I thought the balance of sci-fi and fantasy stories was great.

Of course I loved it -- I edited it! :)
