I read this book for my literature class and had to write a review for an assignment, so I thought I'd include some of my assignment just for fun!
""Reclaim the Stars" is an anthology of stories focusing on justice, prison reform, love, feminism, dictatorship, and other timely topics written by a collection of bestselling and acclaimed YA authors with a focus on Latine characters and culture contrasting against the fantastical elements. The main characters are children and young adults coming of age but facing apocalyptic and magical settings that force them to become wise before their time. It is a collection of fantasy and science fiction that breaks borders, realms, and proves stories are universal. Literally."
The book prominently featured feminine and queer characters in the forefront with stories centering on issues facing those communities. Like all anthologies, some stories may not be your favorite but the wide assortment of moods means you'll find at least a few you will enjoy. It was an easy and entertaining read. I'd definitely recommend it to others interested in these genres!
