A review by enosis
Word Puppets by Mary Robinette Kowal

4.0

I came into this short story collection cold, not remembering where I got it and having no idea who the author was. What a pleasant surprise this book was! A great writer (who gets better over time, since the collection is chronological) exploring some fascinating premises. Kowal started and ended stories in refreshingly unexpected places, often stopping just as a narrative resolution appeared on the horizon. Great sci-fi here.
