Discover the infinite realms of asexual love across sci-fi, fantasy, and contemporary stories
From a wheelchair user racing to save her kidnapped girlfriend and a little mermaid who loves her sisters more than suitors, to a slayer whose virgin blood keeps attracting monsters, the stories of this anthology are anything but conventional. Whether adventuring through space, outsmarting a vengeful water spirit, or surviving haunted cemeteries, no two aces are the same in these 14 unique works that highlight asexual romance, aromantic love, and identities across the asexual spectrum.
Short story collections are always a bit hit and miss, I find. I've never had one where I liked all the stories. I've also never had one where I didn't like all the stories - but this one came close for me.
We definitely need more ace stories and characters out there, so I was very excited to give this a go. However, it seemed to me like all the stories have carefully thought out, intricate backgrounds - that we aren't given. I had trouble following along. This may not be an issue for all readers, of course - I hope it isn't! I really want this book to do well.
It didn't suit me, sadly, but I hope it does well for other readers.
