Every story this time around couldnt get me remotely interested. The story about bacon had a slight glimmer of hope but in the end the only thing I got out of this issue was the review on Shadow Ops interested me to tag those books to read in the future.

Unfortunately I feel like this was the weakest of the Clarkesworld I've read (only the last 8). I was a bit torn because I really enjoyed "Guest of Honor" and "Finisterra" (though I'd read the latter before), but none of the new stories (and the bacon story O_o) really made me excited. I did especially like the non-fiction piece on literatures of despair, and "Gathered in Translation" was also fairly thought-provoking if dry. Overall, I was a bit disappointed.
