The follow-up to the acclaimed title The Curiosities: A Collection of Stories by Maggie Stiefvater, Tessa Gratton, and Brenna Yovanoff. In an unassuming corner of Brooklyn, a young woman learns to be ladylike, to love context, and to speak her mind from a very curious sort of tutor. In a faraway land convulsed by war, a young soldier hears the desert’s curious hum as he disarms bombs with the person he doesn’t know how to love. In a place so shriveled by drought that any drowning is a curiosity, a young writer tries again and again to tread water beneath the surface of a vast and unusual sea. Three new stories—complete with commentary on the creative process—from three acclaimed young adult authors working at the height of their powers. Curious?

This is a really great book for writers. A must read for anyone who is evenly slightly interested in writing anything of their own. The rating is purely from my enjoyment of the stories. Broken down, Maggie's story is a solid 5 out of 5, Tessa's story is a 4.5 out of 5 (I needed more of an ending, more completion than she gave), and Brenna's story is a 3 out of 5 (her story felt too choppy and I just couldn't track it).
