Customer Reviews
Good if you can get past the systematic ableism
I really enjoyed several of the stories, particularly the first one, and would love to follow these characters through longer arcs. Others were fun but difficult. Sometimes it was the language, sometimes the way in which a challenge was overcome. In many cases it's clear that these stories are not written by disabled writers, but they're still fun and it's nice to see us in the leading role, not reliant on some other hero coming to our rescue unless we ask them to.
