Were you an H20 fan as a kid? Do you like fantasy books with sapphic characters??? Well this is THE crossover for you!

I enjoyed this. It’s not a favourite but it caught my attention straight away and I wanted to know how it ended!

I found the writing to be a little repetitive, but overall it’s an enjoyable read and I will most likely pick up the sequels

I don’t want to attach a star rating to this anthology because if I’m being honest, I only read a few stories in their entirety. Anthologies are hit or miss for me. This one, in the stories I read, I loved them! But the others that I skim read, I didn’t. I couldn’t even tell you what happened in those stories if I’m being honest.

But if you want a fantasy anthology that does feature some stories with LGBTQ+ characters, this is the anthology for you. (Disco Spring Fever is my favourite)
