3.5/5

For fans of: short stories, anthologies, sci-fi, fantasy, debut authors, lesser known authors, modern fairytales, retellings

Synopsis: A collection of fantasy/sci-fi short stories, A Universe of Wishes, highlights marginalized voices from many walks of life. From fairytale retellings, modern fairytales, travels throughout the stars, and stories from acclaimed series, the collection is a nice mix of wishes and wonder.

Review: I definitely needed a change from the lengthy reread I had of the ACOTAR series and then reading ACOSF and this just hit the spot. Like all short story collections, this is a mix of hits and misses. This was a total cover buy that I stumbled upon when I was bookshopping randomly last month. Some of my favourites were A Universe of Wishes, The Scarlet Woman, Liberia, A Royal Affair, Unmoor, The Coldest Spot in the Universe, and The Beginning of Monsters. I also now have a slew of new authors to check out and I hope to add some of their work to my TBR.
