#41: Jonathan Strahan (ed.), New Adventures in Space Opera

[kareila]

I've said elsewhere that I don't generally care for short stories, but when I saw how many of my favorite authors were included in this collection, I decided to give it a shot - that being said, I ended up skipping over most of the stories when I didn't vibe with them right off the bat.

The ones I did read:

- "Zen and the Art of Starship Maintenance" by Tobias S. Bucknell
- "All the Colors You Thought Were Kings" by Arkady Martine
- "Metal Like Blood in the Dark" by T. Kingfisher
- "A Good Heretic" by Becky Chambers
- "The Justified" by Ann Leckie

Of those, my favorite was T. Kingfisher - I was desperately curious to see how an outer space setting transformed her fairy-tale style, and she did not disappoint.
