A review by competencefantasy
Upgraded by Neil Clarke
5.0
Turns out I like Neil Clarke's editing style just as much in anthologies as in Clarkesworld. I was one of the kickstarter backers for this book, and I am so delighted with the result.
The theme works smoothly, and the stories feel both coherent and full of variety. Some of my personal highlights were
Married by Helena Bell
Tender by Rachel Swirsky (content warning for self harm on this one)
Small Medicine by Genevieve Valentine
Tongtong’s Summer by Xia Jia
