Cat Pictures Please and Other Stories by Naomi Kritzer
3.0
So there are a lot of 5* ratings here, and I did ponder some time before deciding what mine will be.
The reason that this, from my perspective, isn't a perfect 5, nor quite a strong 4, is that some of these stories were just ok.
Don't get me wrong. Naomi knows how to build the narrative and the characters, so she keeps your focus through this journey, and the comic undertone found in most of the stories is very amusing. I would say that sf is more of her strong suit (I loved the Cat Pictures Please), so in the end, the just-ok-fantasy-stories were those that determined my rating.
