I have never followed the Nebulas, so it was interesting to read through this years' field. As might be expected, I liked some of the stories and excerpts quite a lot, and others left me completely cold. The overall quality was of course high, though, and if you like SF short stories at all, this is definitely worth a read. I prefer Dozois's Year's Best in general, but this represents a wider range of tastes.
My favorites were "Ponies," "Map of Seventeen," "Pishaach," "Bumbershoot," "The Jaguar House, in Shadow," "The Green Book," "That Leviathan, Whom Thou Hast Made," "To Theia," and "The Lady Who Plucked Red Flowers beneath the Queen's Window."
Disappointed by Ellison's winning story, and I would definitely have chosen THE HUNDRED THOUSAND KINGDOMS over BLACKOUT/ALL CLEAR for novel. Oh well.
