Nevertheless, She Persisted: Flash Fiction Project by Diana M. PhoMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Nevertheless, She Persisted is a collection of flash fiction pieces by various amazing authors centered around the same prompt. Can you guess what the prompt is? In case you are stumped, it is: She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted. This is a great way to sample authors new to you or get a brief hit of your faves in between books. I read the whole book in one sitting.
I love Seanan McGuire, Charlie Jane Anders, Catherynne M. Valente, Maria Dahvana Headley, and Brooke Bolander already so reading this was a no-brainer. Margot and Rosalind was a clear favorite. Charlie Jane can do no wrong by me, and I can never get enough, so I appreciate every single opportunity to read her work. It reminded me so much of why I started reading Charlie Jane in the first place. Then, Astronaut by Maria Dahvana Headley blew me away! While fiction, it is based on a real historical figure who deserved to have her story told. You know a story is good when you need to find out everything you can about the subject.
Thanks to Tor.com for putting this together!
