A review by professorfate
Federations by John Joseph Adams
3.0
I consider anthologies edited by John Joseph Adams to be as close to a sure thing as there can be in story collections. I feel that Mr. Adams has a good eye and will find more interesting stories than duds.
Having said that, this might be the exception that proves the rule.
This book for me seemed to have a lot more "meh" stories than usual. Some were good, some I didn't get, but most just struck me as "well, that story's done". In addition (and this may be my failing, because I'm not that smart), a lot of the stories didn't seem to fit in with what I thought was the overall theme of the anthology.
I won't let this deter me from reading further collections by Adams, though. I do have two or three more in the to-be-read heap.
