The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2023 by John Joseph Adams, R.F. Kuang
I also loved RF Kuang’s introduction!
3.0
I really enjoyed 6 of the 20 stories and felt neutral about the rest. These were the ones I liked:
- Beginnings by Kristina Ten
- The Six Deaths of the Saint by Alix E. Harrow
- Murder by Pixel by S.L. Huang
- Pellargonia by Theodora Goss
- Pre-Simulation Consultation XF007867 by Kim Fu
- The Difference Between Love and Time by Catherynne M. Valente

A Conspiracy in Belgravia by Sherry Thomas
2.5
i am enjoying this series enough to continue to the next book, but sherry thomas is really doing these books a disservice with the repeated references to charlotte’s weight. the “maximum tolerable chins” references don’t really seem to be a critique of beauty standards, but rather an ongoing humorous gag. the joke is unfortunately not landing for me.
i’m definitely curious about what’s going to happen with lady ingram, so let’s hope the fatphobia doesn’t persist for the rest of the series.
