Uncanny Magazine Issue 2: January/February 2015 by Michael Damian Thomas, Lynne M. Thomas, Michi Trota
5.0
Review written for "Folding Beijing"
Although I have supported Uncanny Magazine for several years, I have not read all of the issues. It wasn't until this won a Hugo for "Best Novelette" that I got around to reading it.
It lives up to the hype! The world is at once believable and cautionary. Educational and emotional. Wonderfully crafted characters, beautifully worded (excellent translation!), and relatable motivations from the narrator.
Definitely check this out!
