Falling in Love with Hominids

I. LOVED. THIS. COLLECTION. Though I read and watch mostly fantasy and some sci-fi, this collection reminded me of what I love the most about the genres: the imagination, the immersion in worlds I could never fathom existing, the awe at a writer's creativity. I hungered for these short stories and I didn't even know I had been missing this kind of SFF for so long. I just had so much fun with all of them, even the thematically powerful ones that hit my heart. The writing, the worlds, the storytelling, the mini-plots, the characterization, the dialogue - all A+++. It's crazy it took me so long to finally read works by the multiple award winning author Nalo Hopkinson, but I am definitely hyped up to add the Midnight Robber and Skin Folk to my TBR.
