The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year, Volume 10 by Jonathan Strahan
4.0
3.5
Really interesting story set in the same world as The Water Knife. It's not as great as the novel but I would still recommend reading it if you enjoyed TWK.

Does this collection contain the “bestSFF” of the year? I don’t know. Thousands of stories are written every year and you can’t possibly read them all. Do I think that every single story “deserve” a spot on this antholgy? No. Of course they are a few duds, I can’t possibly love them all. Do I think that it is a good Best of the Year anthology?
Absolutely.
I don’t love all the stories but they all contain interesting themes and reflexions on various different topics such as social issues, family, consciousness, discrimination and they’re all tactful. Yes, I didn’t love all of them but could I have done a better job than Strahan? Nope!
