Remnants — a themed anthology from WWOW

Full dis­clos­ure, I am a mem­ber of WWOW, Women Writ­ing Oth­er Worlds, though I was not part of this antho­logy, due to work­ing my butt off get­ting the finale of my own Gate­keep­er Series ready to go!

My review of Rem­nants – the WWOW anthology

This antho­logy is chock-full of thought-pro­vok­ing stor­ies! from dragons to robots to a for­tune tel­li­ing machine (think, the Tom Hanks movie, Big).

It’s a themed antho­logy, and my one wish com­ing away from it is for the edit­ors to have included an explan­a­tion of the theme. There always seems to be an object, and a con­nec­tion to the past… I think? I would love to have a bet­ter under­stand­ing of the objective.*

Hav­ing said that, I enjoyed the read very much. My favour­ite story was HL Bern­abe’s con­tri­bu­tion, “The Cab­in.” Run­ners up are “The Coales­cence of Magic” by Taylor Met­z­ler, and “Clock Full of Stars,” by BJ Sikes.

It was tough to choose favourites!

*The copy I read did­n’t include a book descrip­tion. When I found the book online and read the book descrip­tion I had a bet­ter under­stand­ing of the theme, so that helped ful­fill this wish!
