graculus's review
3.0
At the outset, this seemed like an ideal book for me to pick up, a collection of short fiction around the concept of lost worlds, but unfortunately it just didn't really live up to my expectations.
There are some very good authors here, some of whose other work I've enjoyed very much, but nothing here really grabbed me. Likewise, at times, the collection didn't seem to know what it wanted to do and there was no feeling of theme all the way through. There were a number of stories which were more SF than fantasy (the Becky Chambers story, one of the better ones in my view, was decidedly far more this) and that didn't quite seem to fit with the supposed premise. I was more than a little disappointed, to be honest.
I received a free copy of this book from the publishers, via Netgalley. This is my honest review of the book in question.
