review 1: I don't know what I like and not about this book, first of all I didn't know anything about the most of the authors which was good because then I don't have any expectations and I'm quite fond of love stories but my feelings are a bit mixed! but unlike many others there are some novels I like, more or less, as Maria V. Snyder's berserkers eyes, Kiera Cass in the clearing, Carrie Ryan the dream eater and most of all maybe Amanda Downum's Red who offered an really unexpected dystopi and the novels Up and Hidden Ribbon. There are also some I really don't like... First are that all the novels are in future America, then the most of them are in urban environment, gives a bit minus, with a totally controlling government/male population and the poor girls who is controlled by the... more all evil males and then a lot of fireweapons in the stories. When I read about the dystopi theme I was not expecting this and certainly not that many urban environments but a more broad settings and ideas but this can't be blamed on the editor for the authors interpretations of the theme... but I've got some authors that I will look after a bit more closely when it comes to anthologys after this!
review 2: This book is a collection of different stories from different authors, so I will be focusing on the book as a whole rather thatn reviwing each story individually. The stories ranged from being mostly about the love story and less about the dystopian background, to mainly about showing off the new world with a smattering of love. And since the stories are from different authors, the writing varies a lot: one author uses cursing, while another uses flowery language; some authors write about a boy and a girl while others white about same sex couples; it's a sample platter of writing. This book was a great find and a great read. less
