“The Demon Drum” by Rebecca Roanhorse begins with a breathlessly exciting narration-within-the-narration by the protagonist of the story, Nizhoni Begay. She was raised on the poorest planets in the galaxy, Jinju, and this science fiction aspect of her character is made apparently in the opening line to her story in which she admits that the preceding few months have been spent fighting space pirates (and ghosts bent on revenge) alongside her brother, Jun. Like the other characters in this collection, Kim is a teenager, but she is not of this earth. Kim Min is the narrator of Yoon Ha Lee’s “The Initiation.” The same applies to Lee’s novel Dragon Pearl. The opening line of this story pretty much informs the reader as to the adventure taking place in this story by conveying how she knew it was going to be a bad day the very minute she “stepped out of the portal and into the Night Bazaar of the Otherworld.” The Otherworld is quickly identified as being a quilt comprised of various locations nestled throughout the multiverse. Aru is mythic hero of the author’s Pandava Quintet, a fifteen-year-old girl who calls the Museum of Ancient Indian Art in Atlanta her home.
