Thanks BookSirens for this ARC. There are two short stories in this book, and I enjoyed the first a lot more than the second, though neither were quite my style of sci-fi.
Signal/Tracer was the kind of setting I adore, and was the reason I wanted to read the book in the first place. I liked the main characters well enough, and I really liked the way the author addressed gender throughout. The plot was fine. I wanted so much to be gripped by the story, but - I just wasn't. It took me a disproportionately long time to read and I didn't care as much as I'd hoped I would.
Carrier was both less appealing to me initially and much less interesting to read. In the last few pages, there was a reveal that made the whole thing so much more exciting and I sort of got into it! but then it was over.
A slow read for me, but possibly a really enjoyable one for others.
