It wasn't until I reached 70% of the way through this short story collection that i stopped being disappointed with the collection as a hold because aside from 1 really good story and a few decent ones I thought most of the stories were pretty meh. And then i hit the 70% mark and read many good stories in a row and thought oh here they are! I have read many many authors who's work I had not experienced before that I will definitely be checking out now like River Solomon, S. L. Huang, and Karin Tidbeck to name a few.
Read the first third and had to give up. All of the stories read, ALL of them, were overlong, overslow, boring, unengaging and very, very low scifi. I don't know how that could happen: I regularly read Tor.com and enjoy most of its stories. There is just a tiny minority I do not... and they are all probably in this book. Who did the selection?I need to know, so as to avoid her in the future!
