A review by alexanderp
Lightspeed Magazine, January 2018 by John Joseph Adams

3.0

This was a tragic tale of an orphan, who thought the grass was greener if he could only "make it." Yet, what happens when you take on a power that extracts a terrible cost?

I love Pinsker's style of writing, but I was expecting more "umph" from this one as a whole. The ending just did not click for me.

Merged review:

I only read Pinkser and Iriarte's story from this issue for the Nebulas. I'll come back to read more when I have a chance.
