Reception
Lucy Lockley in Booklist , while observing that the editor calls 2016 "an odd year for the Nebulas," writes "Readers will enjoy this 'odd' variety of excellence." She notes "The entries embrace a spectrum of themes, including disastrous, apocalyptic, and dystopian events; spins on mythology and folk and fairy tales; and poignant stories about family." Singled out for particular comment are the contributions by Yoachim, Krasnoff, Sandford, and Stufflebeam. [2]
The Bookwatch calls the anthology "an outstanding gathering of the finest new, upcoming sci-fi and fantasy writers" in a series "always ... highly recommended ... because it, quite simply, represents the creme de la creme of the genre's Nebula winners." The reviewer considers "[e]ach story ... outstanding and the diversity of the gathering as a whole introduces names readers may not be familiar with, from Alyssa Wong and A. Merc Rustad to Bonnie Jo Stufflebeam." [3]
The anthology was also reviewed by Ian Hunter in Interzone no. 276, July/August 2018, and Norman Spinrad in Asimov's Science Fiction v. 43, no. 11/12, November/December 2019. [1]
