Thank you, Planet Scumm, for giving me a copy of the book in exchange for a fair review!

It has been a while since I’ve read a journal full of stories from various writers, but I enjoyed reading these different tales in Snake Eyes. All the sci-fi stories are full of unique worlds and characters. Even though they don’t have much in common, they all feel connected. 

My favorites out of the whole batch were A Defiance of Violins, The Secret of Theta Pi, Real Sugar is Hard to Find, and An Eventual Feast. These stories’ voices reached out to me a bit more than the others.

The only thing to critique is that I didn’t connect with a couple of the stories as much as the others. But that is just my taste and has nothing to do with the writers’ abilities.

Overall, I enjoyed this journal and would read from them again.
