3 Stars. Nice.
She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted in singing her pagan prayers.more excellent work by tor! this is a linked-theme story project where eleven authors took the now-immortalized sentences regarding elizabeth warren’s senate-floor bouncing: She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted and each structured a story around them. the stories themselves are really short, so i’m not going to write a proper review around them, but you shou...
Felt whatever about it.
A really promising start but the ending was ??? strangely neoliberal which I wasn't expecting. Still excited to try Nisi Shawl's other work though.
What if what I feel is a mistake? Cora wondered. This hope. This dream. What if it turns out to be nothing, no answer, nobody home?This one felt like home to me. Trying out a new song. Walking a new path. Even if you are not sure where it is leading you.
"More Than Nothing" by Nisi Shawl just didn't do much for me, and it was one of the weaker "nevertheless" shorts.I can tell that this author has a lot of talent, and their well of ideas is brimming to the top.

What if what I feel is a mistake? Cora wondered. This hope. This dream. What if it turns out to be nothing, no answer, nobody home? this one suffered for its short length, i think. even after just reading it, i can't really remember what it's about.
Một trong 11 truyện ngắn tham gia sự kiện chúc mừng 8/3 của Tor. Tất cả đều do cây bút nữ viết, có nhân vật chính là nữ, và lấy cảm hứng từ 3 câu "She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted." (Cô đã được cảnh báo. Cô đã được giải thích. Tuy vậy, cô vẫn dấn thân." Các truyện này đều quá ngắn (hoàn toàn có thể đọc xong trong 5p) để giới thiệu mà không spoil mất nội dung.Mình hơi thất vọng với "More than Nothing". Tác giả có kỹ năng viết tốt. Truyện mở đầu khá hứa hẹn...
For International Women's Day some science fiction authors wrote stories inspired by the phrase “Nevertheless, she persisted." This story is about keeping the faith. Believing that voice inside. Trusting in magic.
Dialogue, setting, character - all of these elements have pizzazz.But the ending sucks much of the spark out of this story. The main character, a babysitter named Cora, trusts in magic despite the warnings of others around her. I guess I expected her to want something...more?...than what the ending provided. I got a magical realism feel from the rest of the story: she uses magic to help the little boy she babysits and the lake in the story has a witchy feel. But her dream doesn't seem magical an...
