Read:The Practical Witch’s Guide to Acquiring Real Estate by A.C. Wise - cute, funPlanet Lion by Catherynne M. Valente - very different, surprisingly depressingIn Libres by Elizabeth Bear - might be my favorite fictional library
This might be my favorite issue yet. This shouldn't be too surprising as it includes works by Cat Valente, Kameron Hurley, Elizabeth Bear, and John Chu. The authors I was unfamiliar with were also quite engaging, especially Isabel Yap's poem. "Apologies for Breaking the Glass Slipper" will join Kij Johnson's "Ponies" as a work that I would like our children to understand before being too entrenched in their teenage years. Many of the stories focus on the importance of books and words, but their
Good solid issue.I particularly enjoyed 'In Libres' by Elizabeth Bear and 'Restore the heart into love' by John Chu.
As with Issue 5, the fiction seemed a lot stronger than the essays. But there were a few great essays as well, especially Kameron Hurley's piece on writing versus storytelling.
I don't even know how to review this but I loved it. Warring humans contaminate a world they barely understand and the result is that the 'lions' native to the world are corrupted. The descriptions are lovely and evocative and imaginative, and I'm probably going to re-read this more than once.*Find the story here:http://uncannymagazine.com/article/pl...
1/3/19 skimmed sample and site.
Beautiful, evocative and dangerous. I love the idea of the lions absorption skills and how the narrative shifts back and forth between the interlopers, the people on the outside of the planet and the lioness herself. I, also, love that they are polyamorous and gender-different.
4/5 Rating Originally posted at https://mylifemybooksmyescape.wordpre... This issue has some of my favorite short stores and poetry of the year! FICTION Planet Lion by Catherine M. Valente - 3/5 Rating I'll be honest... I think I may have missed something in my reading. It was a good military SF story, with view points switching between these alien, telepathic lions, and field reports from various members of the military investigating the new planet. I think this story has a lot to offer, bu...
I've really been enjoying this magazine and its podcasts. I still enjoyed this one, but it didn't knock my socks off to quite the same extent as some of the other editions I have read thus far. Non-fiction and interviews also add great value.Perfect for me[none in this issue :(]Enjoyable, worked for me"Planet Lion" by Catherynne M. Valente [listened to on podcast & read] - Quite structurally tricky but a great cautionary tale of human interference. "In Libres" by Elizabeth Bear [listened to on p...
originally posted at: http://thebookplank.blogspot.com/2015...Most of the short stories that I have been reading so far have all been stories. I know quite cryptic and doesn't make much sense but after reading The Practical Witch's Guide to Acquiring Real Estate you will know what I mean. I have been long looking for reading such a thing, not really a story but a story all the same.In The Practical Witch's Guide to Acquiring Real Estate you don't follow a protagonist, it is a story about instruc...
First up - an absolutely stunning cover! I love it.Once I loaded it onto my Kindle, this issue only took me 4 days to read. I thoroughly enjoyed it.Oddly enough, It was Valente's story that I struggled with. I usually adore her writing, but I just didn't understand much of this one, though I think I picked up on the themes of environmental and scientific ethics.A.C. Wise's "The Practical Witch's Guide to Acquiring Real Estate" was utterly charming. I also really liked "Young Woman in a Garden" b...
"The Practical Witch’s Guide to Acquiring Real Estate" by A.C. Wise
