3.0

Looking for Laika by Laura Mauro 4.5*
The highlight of the issue, it follows a main protagonist with anxiety who is certain that London is going to fall because of a nuclear bomb. I loved how the story was written, it managed to pull me in the story very quickly and I loved the relationship between the siblings (especially I loved how the sister manages to calm down her brother when he was having a panick attack, the scene brought tears to my eyes). Very good story though I wished we could have learned a bit more about the world.


After the Titans by Rachael Cupp - DNF

Fully Automated Nostalgia Capitalism by Dan Grace - 3.5*
Interesting concept and good writing but it was a bit too short.

The Big So-So by Erica L. Satifka - 4*
What if aliens managed to solve all of humanity's problem by making everyone addict to a drug and then, took it away?
Cool concept, good writing, I'm not too sure about the bittersweet ending.

The Garden of Eating by R. Boyczuk - 2.5*

The Morrigan by Stewart Horn - 3*
The ideas were there but it was too violent for me.
