Very strong collection with few misses! The opening piece, Boojum by Elizabeth Bear and Sarah Monette, was an excellent hook and ended up being my second favorite in the whole collection. (Araminta, or, The Wreck of the Amphidrake by Naomi Novik was my absolute favorite, the subtly of the world building was exact and never drew away from the excellent plot, which was awesome!) There was only one piece I didn't bother to finish, as the style and the characterization were choppy and became too hard to follow. But while some of the other pieces were a little slower paced or less exciting, all the rest of the pieces had something to offer, and it's a collection that I would highly recommend to other pirate enthusiasts!
