Reviews for Drowned Worlds
22 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Given the tight restriction on the subject matter and that all the stories were written for the anthology, there is some variety of tone and view, but not enough unless read over 3 or 4 months.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/53.5 starsA solid anthology, in which, although most of the stories were worth the time I spent reading them, very few were memorable. I had to alternate this book with a few others because I found some stories slightly repetitive and a bunch of them too moralizing for my taste. But as I said before, most of the stories were good enough, and my standouts were those by Kim Stanley Robinson and Sam J. Miller and, most of all, James Morrow’s ‘‘Only Ten More Shopping Days Left Till Ragnarok’’, maybe partly due to the fact that it’s sarcastic and funny, unlike most of the rest of the stories which are quite sad and depressing.
