Someone in Time: Tales of Time-Crossed Romance by Jonathan Strahan
4.0
This collection of mostly queer stories is a treat for fans of time travel. Sixteen stories take you across a huge span of time and many places, from Earth to Space.
My favourite story was The Difference Between Love and Time, by Catherynne Valente, a mindboggling love story with the Space/Time Continuum as the beloved. I’ve never read anything quite like it. A close second was Romance: Historical by Rowan Coleman, set in a bookstore. I also enjoyed First Aid, by Seanan McGuire, a tale of time travel gone only slightly wrong, depending on your perspective. The Golden Hour by Jeffrey Ford turns the tables on the reader, and Timed Obsolescence by Sameem Siddiqui had possibly the best plot. Bergamot and Vetiver, by Lavanya Lakshminarayan, is a beautiful and evocative story.
Read particularly if you’re into queer love, as this anthology is heavy on that theme, but also read because this is a very good and very entertaining SF collection.
Rated: 8/10
Thank you to Rebellion Publishing and to NetGalley for this eARC.
