New Suns: Original Speculative Fiction by People of Color

I finished this a while ago, and forgot to write a review. So I'll keep it short. This is the anthology I needed. The title is from the Octavia Butler quote “There is nothing new under the sun, but there are new suns.” And recently I've been needing new suns. These short stories have a distinctly different feel but still all the boundless imagination and fresh insights that I love about science fiction and speculative fiction.

This anthology was like a breathe of fresh air. I've added works by nearly every author in this collection to my "to read" list. If, like me, you feel like sci fi / fantasy (speculative fiction) can get stuck in a rut and start to feel a little formulaic sometimes, then I highly recommend this collection.
