Not bad at all. I am just not a fan of chatty robots and spaceships, specially if there's not some kind of humour in the mix. But I can see the appeal of this novelette and some dialogues were worth the read.

cathepsut's review
I did not finish, because this is just the review for one of the stories in this issue:
BOTS OF THE LOST ARK by Suzanne Palmer, 11080 WORDS, NOVELETTE
BOTS OF THE LOST ARK by Suzanne Palmer, 11080 WORDS, NOVELETTE
Bots run amok, aliens threaten, ship and humans need to be saved, little bot to the rescue.
Set on the same ship and following the adventures of the same little bot as HUGO-awarded The Secret Life if Bots, this is a fun and slightly absurd take on the currently abundant stories and novels about artificial intelligences.
I guess it is about time that I pick up one of her full-length novels.
Can be read for free here.

4.0
I only read the first three stories: "Little Animals" by Nancy Kress, "Poubelle" by Robert Reed, and "Bots of the Lost Ark" by Suzanne Palmer. (If I'm being honest, the only reason I picked up this edition at all was for the Suzanne Palmer story.) I enjoyed the first two well enough, but loved the third story, which picks up after Palmer's award-winning "The Secret Life of Bots." Both stories are magical and hopeful and wonderful, and I highly recommend reading them as a set.
