Three facts:
One: The system is unjust.
Two: The system is rigged.
Three: The system is broken, but you are not.
A story about taking back power, and fighting to right wrongs, even if no one will do the same for you.

Fiction highlights: "Monster Girls Don't Cry", "Goddess, Worm"
Nonfiction highlights: "Inferior Beasts", "I Have Never Not Been an Object"
This was my first month after subscribing; it's definitely worth it.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Though I appreciate what this mag is trying to do in terms of prioritizing different voices in fantasy writing, unfortunately it doesn't bring much that I enjoyed. I liked a few things in here well enough (the Santería poem the most, maybe), but groaned at a LOT of the stories. Overcooked prose, badly in need of trimming, bangs out a thesaurus' most "whimsical" adjectives when a simpler approach would do. One interview was better than the other.
Just not for me, but at least it wasn't all bad. And it was short. I'm sure other issues are better, but I'm not in a hurry to find out.

Loved this issue. Everything from the opening editorial declaring the Space Unicorns fight facism to the stories and essays were well done. Very topical in today's political climate.

„The Unknown God“ by Ann Leckie
Set in the same fantasy world of the Nalendar, as the other god stories by Ann Leckie. Aworo, Lord of the Horses, comes to Kalub to right a wrong he did. Maybe. And he is genuine about it, which is a new one for a god. He‘s having a bit of a philosophical crisis.
The lightest and fluffiest of Leckie‘s god stories so far. It was ok.

This story was beautiful and haunting. After just finishing European Travels, it makes me understand why there was such a connection to Budapest in the story

A dark story of monster girls hiding who they are. Of hating their body, about others hating their body. About finding love and self love. About family

Did Tansy write a story just for me, just for today?
I am still having the flu, so a fun and fluffy romantic story involving the Greek gods (in person) was totally what I wanted and needed. It is snarky and sweet.
As I said, just for me, just for tonight.
Merged review:
This one was almost like reading poetry as it was lyrical and hard to follow - I might just have been too tired or a little dense but it took me long to figure out what was going on.
Merged review:
I am not really into non-genre fiction and this right on the edge of that. However it is a powerful story and it isn't the stories fault that it isn't quite sf/f-y for my taste. It is a very emotional story and quite weird.
The title reminded me of Gengis Kan, so the story turned out to be a LOT less horrific than I thought it would be. Really it has no real horror elements which is always nice.
It is a very timely story by the author's intent.
If you like Uncanny's stories I think you will like it as well

"There is room in the world for girls of all kinds. Monster girls and the girls who love them and all the others who’ve ever lived."
