5.0
As usual I loved this issue of Uncanny. My favourite parts:
1) "How to Survive An Epic Journey" by Tansy Rayner Roberts. This is a fantastic retelling of the Jason and the Argo from a female perspective. Great voice and prose.
2) "Making Us Monsters" by Sam J. Miller and Lara Elena Donnelly. I loved the idea of framing this piece around historical characters writing letters and these letters being received out of time. This story was also full of so many feels, and so many queer feels. I finished it and immediately wanted to read it it to take in more of the beautiful depth and language throughout.
