the standout stories of this hugo collection for me were, without a doubt, hungry daughters of starving mothers by alyssa wong, the deepwater bride by tamsyn muir and grandmother-nai-leylit’s cloth of winds by r. b. lemberg. i will pick up absolutely anything these authors publish and will be doing my absolute best to get a hold of the rest of the birdverse. i really liked this collection, and it’s sprawl of genres, there was only one story that i actively disliked here and i count that as a major success!
this has introduced me to some super authors that i hadn’t heard of, and some short stories by authors that i already loved. i have been a few chapters into ancillary justice for two or three months now but with reading another word for world, i’ll continue asap.
