Not For Use In Navigation: Thirteen Stories by Iona Datt Sharma

3.75

I enjoyed the science fantasy vibe of these stories, which ranged from solid scifi to scifi that felt like magic to magic and science combining to straight magic. Like most short story collections, I enjoyed some more than others. Unlike most short story collections, several of these were set in the same world. I really enjoyed the stories of a real Mughal Emperor of India set in a spacefaring alternate past. I didn't particularly enjoy the stories of the people who call themselves Salt - the magic was interesting, but the postwar Britain setting was just not interesting to me. On the whole, though, none of them stood out as particularly bad (although none of them stood out as particularly spectacular, either) and it was a solid short story collection.
