Transcendent 3: The Year's Best Transgender Speculative Fiction by Bogi Takács
3.0
I was particularly excited for this anthology not for the premise (I found the second volume to be... hit or miss, to say the least), but for the authors I recognized would be in here.
Yoon Ha Lee's "Chameleon Gloves" will probably only make sense to a reader who has read Nine Fox Gambit or other shorts from the Hexarchate universe, but it was a favorite of mine.
Rivers Solomon and S. Qiouyi Lu will always lead me to pick up an anthology– and it was well worth it here.
The breakout surprise that delighted me here was the short "Hello, World" by Polenth Blake – short entries from an AI on its way to Mars, keeping watch over... fish. It's poignant and a not-to-be-missed short story!
