The Gathering Dark

I liked it but I didn't really love it. Some stories were great and well written but others were very predictable and unnecessarily long. Other than that this book was something new for me and was a very enjoyable read:)

Ten stories, YA with content warnings. First published in 2022. My favorite stories were Stay (by Erica Waters); Loved by All, Save One (by Tori Bovalino); Ghost on the Shore (by Allison Saft); and It Stays with You (by Aden Polydoros).

The Burning One **

Do I need an entire collection with stories that had massive potential but were ruined by ridiculous YA writing and a plethora of ‘‘let's push our agendas'' messages?

No, I don't.
