Review of "The Year's Best Science Fiction: Thirtieth Annual Collection (2013)" on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

I thought there were a few good stories in here, but I think this collection as a whole suffered due to too many fantasy/gothic stories and due to a lack of paring down of the collection as a whole. In the end, I pushed through just to finish the book, not out of enjoyment of the stories. I think Steven Popkes' Sudden, Broken, and Unexpected and Megan Lindholm's Old Paint were standout stories.
