A Thousand Beginnings and Endings

The “A Thousand Beginnings and Endings” is a fantastic book ranges from sci-fi adaptations to quite fantastical adaptations to real-world adaptations. Ellen Oh, Elsie Chapman and Renée Ahdieh are the authors of this book. This book contains so many amazing stories by incredible authors and a wonderful concept, and the styles and subjects are as diverse as the countries and cultures represented, these stories are for everyone. From fantasy to science fiction to contemporary, from romance to tales of revenge, these stories will beguile readers from start to finish. From many stories, one is “a sci-fi tale about a girl and her strained relationship with her father, who hasn’t been the same since her mother died (TW/CW: loss of a loved one, grief, and abandonment). But she and her friend soon start to unravel a mystery concerning the androids that were recalled long ago for being too intelligent. And this was such a beautiful story, with such an amazing ending.” And the end note about this reimagining of The Woman and the Tiger, a Hmong folktale, completely made me fall even harder in love.
