A Good Heretic* (short story from the wayfarer universe)
This was interesting def but maybe cause i would prefer more context thus longer stories of this universe, i didnt really connect to Mas and their story. But the concept of heretic and such was really interesting to read

I loved it. Short but so deep and thoughtful. I’ll read anything Becky Chambers writes. Happy I was able to check it out from my local library as I just wanted to read her story.

Just as good as the rest of her books. I just wish it was longer because the Sianat perspective is so interesting and I’d love to know more about the colony on Erun.

5 Stars! Excellent novelette in the excellent Wayfarers series. Enjoy!
- “Our meaning is each other. Helping the resistant. Helping the runaways. Helping Pairs who wish to break… It may not seem like much, compared to shaping a galaxy. But it is enough. Sometimes, caring for one place, for one group—it really is enough.”

Like all Becky Chambers' books, the dialogue and interaction between characters are fantastic. The story was just a short piece that would have fit into one of her other books. It feels like a deleted scene from "The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet" (I think). I guess it can stand on its' own, but I would have liked more.

Always good to have more stories in a favorite series. But there is just not enough here. And it just didn't have the emotional investment that I wanted. Still good and interesting. And did add to the series, just not enough. 3.5 of 5.

I hate military sci-fi, and there was a distressing amount of it in this anthology. However, they were luckily not ALL military sci-fi. Most of the stories were interesting in some way.
Favorites:
Wayfarers: A Good Heretic, by Becky Chambers
A Special Kind of Morning, by Gardner Dozois (I actually didn't like this one for a good while but changed my mind after finishing it)
Shambleau, by C.L. Moore
Lieutenant Tightass, by Kristine Kathryn Rusch
Cold Sleep, by C.J. Cherryh
The First In story by Tanya Huff was impressively obtuse.

A good diverse collection, not all of them are 5 stars but some are real standouts.
