acb13adm | 4 weitere Rezensionen | Sep 13, 2023 | For me, Ellen Datlow is one of the finest anthologists around, so it should be no surprise that this is a superb collection of fiction. If there is any surprise at all, it is perhaps that she could only pick from short fiction published by tor.com the previous year, but I think that the quality of the volume says a great deal about the quality of the work on Tor.
There's not a single story on here that i would consider poor - the vast majority I scored 4- or 5- stars and, for those I didn't, it was more that they were simply not my type of thing. For instance, there were a couple that I thought more vignettes for sketches, not fleshed out enough to be trues stories, but I know that is something of a personal taste issue.
The real joy of this collection, though, is that it has introduced me to so many authors I may otherwise never have come across but are now no-questions-asked purchases. I can't wait to get to the other tor.com "some of the best" volumes.
I've reviewed the tales individually as I've gone along, so will just give the ratings here.

Pezski | 4 weitere Rezensionen | Jun 21, 2020 | A collection of shorts published on the Tor website. Very much a curate's egg of a book; some stories I liked very much, others I thought not very good (either stylistically or subject matter). Some authors are better at writing short fiction than others or have some short pieces that serve as a good introduction to their work, others, let's say I won't be looking out for them! The stories were mostly science fiction or urban fantasy; there wasn't much in the way of more traditional fantasy (but it's rather difficult to pack a multi-volume epic into a short story).
On the whole enjoyable, and good reading for the daily commute as you can easily fit a story in each way.… (mehr)

Maddz | 4 weitere Rezensionen | Feb 28, 2017 | Terminal by Lavie Tidhar
Thousands people ridding small cheap one-man space vehicles called "jalopies", waves of them, destine to "Terminal Beach" on Mars. It's an one-way trip, without telling they would arrive there alive. During flight, the swarm communicates, within and relayed back behind.
This story of those crusaders is foremost juggles of strong personal emotions, beautifully felt. They are grandpa-to-be who desires to go in space, lady who faces fatal cancer, nurse whose job gradually kindles her purposeless life. The trick Tidhar plays here? sudden switch of voices and use of poetic language.… (mehr)

Even with a couple of yarns by authors from whom I have liked previous stories, I just can't get into these.
Don't know if it's just changed times, or what.
