- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
4.0
I had a great time with this anthology. There's no overarching theme - other than being from the UK - so these stories are a delightful grab bag of themes and tropes. The illustrations are beautiful and perfectly accompany each story. 4 stars
