Beneath Ceaseless Skies Issue #231 by Jeremy A. TeGrotenhuis, Stephen Case, Scott H. Andrews
5.0
Both stories in this issue of BCS are fantastic!
The darkly-told tale "Deathspeaker" by Stephen Case starts right in the middle of the action and doesn't let up. It introduces a compelling magical power and follows through with implications, consequences, and complications that escalate the story and take it into dark new territories leading up to an incredible ending and, to me at least, an unexpected final moment. A scary, lovely, emotional, inventive favorite!
"The Broken Karwaneer" by Jeremy A. TeGrotenhuis is likewise inventive and compelling. The protagonist is sharply drawn and the story is carefully crafted to showcase her character arc. I frequently praise the stories in BCS for how they drop readers into strange new worlds that build themselves vividly in the imagination; these two stories are no exceptions.
