Editor's Notes
Mother of Learning set the gold standard for time loop fiction. These stories share its DNA: intelligent protagonists who learn from their mistakes, intricate magic systems worth exploring, and that satisfying sense of earned progress. Each one gave me the same feeling of 'just one more chapter' that MoL did.
