Pets in Space 4 by S.E. Smith
2.0
Rating individual stories to get overall rating for collection. DNFs=1 star
1-3.5 stars
2-2.5 stars
3- Skipped because I have expanded version of the story to read
4- 3 stars
5-2.5 stars
6-3.5 stars
7-DNF
8-3.5 stars
9- 2.5 stars
10-4 stars This was my favorite of the collection. Fun dialogue. Multiple NB characters including NB pronouns. Lots of action.
11-DNF
12-DNF Because of problematic language choices and life's too short.
13-DNF
Because of all the DNFs, overall rating for the 12 stories I read or attempted to read is a 2.17 stars.
Lesson learned: I will be avoiding anthologies in the future.
-I do not like trying to jump into stories based on pre-existing series with no quick notes to clue me in on what's going on. Seriously, please take a single page to give a paragraph or two summary of the universe and peoples involved to help out those of us who are not reading all of your work. I should not have to spend so much effort trying to figure out if I'm reading about different groups of humans or non-humans.
-There can be some real gems in them, but most are Okay at best.
