Overwatch: Short Story Collection
C**R
A Good Collection Of Stories Based On The Overwatch Games
Overwatch: Short Story Collection By authors Michael Chu, Brandon Easton, Christie Golden, and Alyssa Wong is a anthology collection of short stories that originally appeared as separate short digital novellas.The stories provide background information for the cast of characters associated with the Overwatch video game. Since the game is a science fiction game with fast-paced action, most of the stories have plenty of excitement. The stories have different authors, so no two are exactly alike, but the separate entries are quality in both artistic style and strength of story.The mood of each story varies depending on the characters involved, with some being light-hearted and fun, some being gritty action, and some being unexpectedly deep for short stories based on a video game. For example, the topics of terrorism and political insurrection are explored using a science-fiction setting that makes these weighty topics interesting to the book’s young adult audience, while keeping the discussions from being too mature for young readers.The characters presented in this book are as varied and colorful as the stories in which they appear. The villains are unashamedly evil, but these dark characters are countered by truly heroic individuals who are willing to put their own lives on the line to protect other people, even people they do not know. All the characters are interesting, but one stands out in particular because she is on the autism spectrum but is a character who uses her unique mental perspective as an advantage rather than a disability. This strong character is one who young people who are struggling with autism in particular, and other diagnoses in general, should find inspiring.Overall, Overwatch: Short Story Collection provides a fun entertaining read spread throughout its five short stories. Each story provides great character development, world building, and lore to the games universe. It’s definitely a must read for any fan of the Overwatch franchise.

Not what I thought
I thought this would be more like a kid's book, but overall it's not a bad book. It's well put together.
