Lost Worlds & Mythological Kingdoms by John Joseph Adams
4.0
3.5* I purchased this anthology solely for Becky Chambers's story, and I have no regrets.
I liked this anthology! I enjoyed the common thread throughout, and I felt that there were some really strong contributions here. My average rating is 3.5*, and I've broken them down as follows:
1. The Light Long Lost at Sea by An Owomoyela - 2*
2. The Cleft of Bones by Kate Elliott - 4*
3. The Voyage of Brenya by Carrie Vaughn - 4.5*
4. Comfort Lodge, Enigma Valley by Charles Yu - 1*
5. The Expedition Stops for the Evening at the Foot of the Mountain Pass by Genevieve Valentine - 3*
6. Down in the Dim Kingdoms by Tobias S. Buckell - 4*
7. Those Who Have Gone by C.C. Finlay - 3.5*
8. An Account, by Dr. Inge Kühn, of the Summer Expedition and Its Discoveries by E. Lily Yu - 5*
9. Out of the Dark by James L. Cambias - 3*
10. Endosymbiosis by Darcie Little Badger - 4.5*
11. The Orpheus Gate by Jonathan Maberry - 5*
12. Hotel Motel Holiday Inn by Dexter Palmer - 2*
