A review by shellbellbell
The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2018 by John Joseph Adams, N.K. Jemisin
5.0
If reading a good novel is like savoring a big, delicious slice of cake, then reading a well-curated anthology of short fiction from different authors is like working your way through a box of chocolates. They're all good and delicious in their own unique ways. Each one is created to savor in just one bite.
The settings, subjects, and writing styles vary widely, from space opera to medieval, from horror to comedy. As a bonus, almost all of these stories center on protagonists who are women, people of color, queer, genderqueer, or trans - what else would you expect with NK Jemisin as the editor?
I now have a bunch of new authors and short fiction publications to check out. So glad that I picked this book out at the library at random!
