3.75, rounding up. I really like the premise of Solarpunk Creatures, an anthology featuring "more-than-human protagonists: organic and digital, alien and fantastic, tiny and boundlessly large."  The editors note that a key theme of the collection is "nonhuman agency" and the negotiation involved in diverse species making community and living together.

It is hard to rate this collection as, inevitably, I enjoyed some stories more than others; one I didn't finish for 'content warnings' related reasons, and two I did not finish just because they didn't hold my attention.  The rest, I enjoyed.  A few favourites include:
-"Sonora's Journey" by Kai Holmwood - a personification of a desert as a protagonist, and an interesting structure
-"The Business of Bees" by Andrew Knighton - a cat protagonist, so of course I loved it
-"AI Dreams of Real Sheep - More at 8" by Commando Jugendstil and Tales from the EV Studio - a linguistic classification program gains sentience
-"Quarropts Can't Dance" by Rodrigo Culagovski - hilarious song and dance battle
-"Leaf Whispers, Ocean Song" by Tashan Mehta - beautiful story of beyond human language, grief, and communing with those around us

Thank you to World Weaver Press & NetGalley for providing an ARC for me to review.
