A brief rating of the six stories inside:

"How it Unfolds" by James S.A. Corey - 5 stars (just a beautiful story)
"Void" by Veronica Roth - 3 stars (wish it was less predictable)
"Falling Bodies" by Rebecca Roanhorse - 5 stars (my second favorite in the collection)
"The Long Game" by Ann Leckie - 4 stars
"Just Out of Jupiter's Reach" by Nnedi Okorafor - 2 stars (not my thing)
"Slow Time Between the Stars" by John Scalzi - 4 stars (when Scalzi dials back the snark, good things happen)
