Just as good as the rest of her books. I just wish it was longer because the Sianat perspective is so interesting and I’d love to know more about the colony on Erun.

5 Stars! Excellent novelette in the excellent Wayfarers series. Enjoy!
- “Our meaning is each other. Helping the resistant. Helping the runaways. Helping Pairs who wish to break… It may not seem like much, compared to shaping a galaxy. But it is enough. Sometimes, caring for one place, for one group—it really is enough.”

Like all Becky Chambers' books, the dialogue and interaction between characters are fantastic. The story was just a short piece that would have fit into one of her other books. It feels like a deleted scene from "The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet" (I think). I guess it can stand on its' own, but I would have liked more.

Always good to have more stories in a favorite series. But there is just not enough here. And it just didn't have the emotional investment that I wanted. Still good and interesting. And did add to the series, just not enough. 3.5 of 5.

I hate military sci-fi, and there was a distressing amount of it in this anthology. However, they were luckily not ALL military sci-fi. Most of the stories were interesting in some way.
Favorites:
Wayfarers: A Good Heretic, by Becky Chambers
A Special Kind of Morning, by Gardner Dozois (I actually didn't like this one for a good while but changed my mind after finishing it)
Shambleau, by C.L. Moore
Lieutenant Tightass, by Kristine Kathryn Rusch
Cold Sleep, by C.J. Cherryh
The First In story by Tanya Huff was impressively obtuse.

A good diverse collection, not all of them are 5 stars but some are real standouts.

devrose's review against another edition
I only wanted to read two stories in this book, since I'm not a fan of space opera in general: "Wayfarers: a good heretic" by Becky Chambers and "Frontier ABCs" by Seanan McGuire. I really enjoyed both! Chambers's story just made me want more in that work, even though I know there will be none. Seanan McGuire's story felt more like a Mira Grant story in that it felt vaguely horrorish, but oh so good.
