This review is only for "Dustbaby" by Alix E. Harrow.
And the verdict? I LOVED it. You could taste the dust and despair in the air, as well as that small little tendril of hope.

My favorites were:
Of Blood and Brine by Megan E. O'Keefe - Great concept, would love to read a whole novel set in this world.
The Proper Motion of Extraordinary Stars by Kali Wallace - Tactile and vivid. Would like this to be a series.
Dustbaby by Alix E. Harrow - This was my absolute favorite, so much so that I went seeking more of the author's work. I found another short story on Tor.com that cemented my infatuation with her prose. I'd like her to hurry and write a book, please.
All of the stories (except one for me) were riveting and weird and shimmer-y. They were the embodiment of why I love this magazine's choices. I look forward to buying each anthology as a way of supporting and enjoying their work.
The book itself, by the way, is high quality for the price you pay. The binding is sturdy, the typos were rare, and I'm happy to put it on my bookshelf. The cover art is well done, too.
