In some ways, picking up this anthology was a mistake: I don't typically enjoy Sci fi, and hadn't realised that all the stories would be in this genre. However, there are two stories which I genuinely think were great (Song of the Birds, N) and a third which I enjoyed a lot (The Association). Broadly speaking, I felt the stories were well constructed, with varying styles which will suit a wide range of people, but I can't say I really enjoyed it overall because its just not my preferred genre. Nice to discover new authors though - and the stories I enjoyed I would rate significantly higher (4*) than the anthology as a whole.
