Mostly great! There were a couple that didn't do anything for me but this had a better hit rate for me than most anthologies have had lately.

| This is the second anthology I've read from this series, and while I liked the other, vol. 2, more, because I connected better to the stories and themes, and think more of the entries had unique subjects or ways of handling them, this was very enjoyable, too.
There were a couple of stories that didn't speak to me and few that I consider masterpieces (like Mother Tongue), most of them were really good.
There is a successful mix of different topics and styles. The setting could be something close to our reality, exploring themes like gender roles, identity or sexuality, or something foreign asking "what if" or showing an adventure.
If you want to experience modern SFF in short format, I guess every book from this series might be a good pick.
