Jingo and the Hammerman was hilarious, though I'm not sure that's what was intended.

Just okay.

We are New(s) - 2.75. Conceptually okay but needed more. Style over substance.

Good story by Rachel Harrison, but some of the worst non-fiction writing in this issue I've ever read in my life.

Passion Summer decent but weak ending.

Resistance easily one of the worst "professional" stories I've ever read.

Really love the writing and depth of character. Control is almost two people. Very well done,

The Grocer's Wife - decent
Bringing them Back - meh
In Equity - even more meh with what struck me as some really bad writing

Phoenix on the Sword - great start. So much promise

Annotations on Charles Dexter Ward were 90% pointless.

this is not a good collection.

Another Word for Map is Faith - good story well told that didn't do much for me. Pretty much same feeling on Over Hell Under Heaven. Both are setting heavy and character light.

Feels like each chapter is written like an essay, as so much info is repeated. Additionally, Sherman details are interesting while the history covered outside of his viewpoint is thin and told in a very boring info-dump style.

great intro - then flat through his early days

In the House of the Seven Librarians - excellent nostalgic story for book and library lovers.
