I only read "The Phobos Experience" by Mary Robinette Kowal, not the whole magazine. This short story seemed like it could be a good start to a novella, but on it's own it didn't seem to have a point. Goodreads rating: 2 stars (it was ok)

A space adventure set in the alternate Lady Astronaut timeline in the 1970s. It was a fun. However, the protagonist reminded me too much of Elma: she's a NavCom astronaut with a medical condition that compromises her abilities to function but somehow she overcomes that. Her voice wasn't distinctive enough from Elma's. The twist was unexpected; I liked seeing more political intrigue in the Lady Astronaut universe.

An absolutely stellar issue.
It's got a university whose citation system is downright Lovecraftian; a waitress who just might be a time traveller; a novice shaman's tour of cities that have each made adjustments to what their denizens can see. It's got SF and haunting fantasy and a fairy hunt and a heist. It's a pretty amazing issue :)
I plan to circle back and review this one properly, but until then: read this issue it's fantastic
