There were a few standout stories; I think the fantasy section was stronger than the scifi.
Maybe I am a little harsh rating the anthology, but most of the stories didn't grip me. I think that is probably due to the fact that there is such a wide range of stories here.
My favorites were: Saltwater Skin - I really enjoy magical realism so that was right up my alley. The Lesser Evil - Wonderful writing and interesting characters; The Osiris Paradox - Intriguing world-building and great blend of fantasy and scifi together.
