About this ebook
This omnivorous selection of stories chosen by series editor John Joseph Adams and World Fantasy Award finalist Carmen Maria Machado is a display of the most boundary-pushing, genre-blurring, stylistically singular science fiction and fantasy stories published in the last year. By sending us to alternate universes and chronicling ordinary magic, introducing us to mythical beasts and talking animals, and engaging with a wide spectrum of emotion from tenderness to fear, each of these stories challenge the way we see our place in the cosmos. The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2019 represents a wide range of the most accomplished voices working in science fiction and fantasy, in fiction, today—each story dazzles with ambition, striking prose, and the promise of the other and the unencountered.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I continue slowly making my way through this series. Eventually I may even finally catch up to the present year! I've been pretty consistently impressed by these collections. The best stories in them are always incredible, and even the ones that don't 100% work for me are almost always still well-written and doing interesting and thought-provoking things. I do think this installment has a slightly higher percentage of that second kind than previous years', but that just means that it's "only" a highly worthwhile anthology, rather than a knock-your-socks off one.It's also interesting how these volumes always seem to develop strong themes, reflecting both the concerns of the relevant year and the particular focus of that year's editor. Themes of power and marginalization and how humans perpetuate, suffer under, and respond to those dynamics are strongly present here, as they have been in previous years, but this one especially centers women and narratives that address violence against women.
