Zerbrochene Sterne: Erzählungen by Ken Liu
3.0
More 3,5 than 3, but definitively not 4.
Let me say, I enjoyed this book, I really did. But the hit rate for actually good stories was very much 50/50.
I liked What Has Passed Shall in Kinder Light Appear by Baoshu best, and it this is also the longest story in this anthology. Also on the very good side were Reflection, Broken Stars, and A History of Future Illnesses.
Still positive were in my opinion Moonlight and The Brain Box.
The others were kinda mediocre in my opinion, and even though easy to read, I read some (maybe 3 of the lot) of them more as chore to not skip any stories.
I'd still recommend this anthology, because the 50 good percent are worth it in my opinion.
