Reviews

Nader Elhefnawy, Tangent Online
on "Deer Flight"

...the issue's most compelling and elegantly composed drama.

Sci Fi Catholic
on "Obsidian Shards"

A true high-concept tale, it is in essence an Aztec fantasy murder mystery involving magic rites, taboos, and angry gods. How cool is that?

Richard Horton, Locus,
on "Deer Flight"

Aliette de Bodard's "Deer Flight" is an affecting fantasy about Lesper, a wizard whose wife had been a deer-woman, and had returned to the forest. He meets another deer-woman, and learns that she has been attacked--and his wife killed--by his successor as the King's wizard. The end, and the sacrifice to be demanded of Lesper, is a well-done surprise.
