Some bits and bobs I apparently remembered to put in Goodreads, but not note here.

Recommended

Kid Dark Against The Machine (Cookie Cutter Superhero-Verse #1) by Tansy Rayner Roberts -- anyone reading my book and story reviews for any period of time will know that I love Tansy's short fiction. This is another fun romp playing with superhero tropes, set in Roberts' world where many countries have superhero machines that turn half a dozen people into superheroes for varying amounts of time.

Not recommended

In-Between: A Fantasy Short Story by Beth Hammond -- tagged fantasy, but it really isn't. It felt like someone had read a description of what makes something urban fantasy and then did a dodgy job of it. And then the characters don't age correctly. The Deus ex Machina is very heavy handed, the plot device a little too obvious, and the ending had me rolling my eyes. 2.5/5

The Slow Sad Suicide of Rohan Wijeratne by Yudhanjaya Wijeratne -- I feel I'm not the target market for this rambling slightly incoherent story of an trust fund baby grown up to be an alcoholic who ends up on a one way trip to investigate a black hole. I kind of enjoyed it. Content notes: drug abuse, suicide. 3/5

Wonderland by Samie Sands -- Attractive synopsis, riff on Alice in Wonderland, this is so my thing. Reality is word salad and in your face objectification of female characters. DNF
