I must admit to finding the bigger magazines not as enjoyable. They're putting in two columns of book reviews, etc.
I did like some of the stories. 'The Tale of Nameless Chameleon' was good — I enjoyed the pseudo-ancient-China. I really disliked the Novelet, 'The Revel'. I just hated the style of writing in it.
I did give up my sub to F&SF a few years back, and then restarted. I'm not sure I'll subscribe again once by current sub finishes. And I especially won't if there's no good way to subscribe, not that Fictionwise no longer offers subscriptions!
Next I read
Destroyer of Worlds by Larry Niven and Edward M. Lerner. This continues the story they started in
Fleet of Worlds, and although one story arc is completed, they can't resist adding an 'epilogue' setting up for the next in the series —
Betrayer of Worlds. And I find I've missed one,
Juggler of Worlds that I'll now have to see if I can find, as it's no longer on sale at Fictionwise.
And it's no longer on sale anywhere where I can buy it. Sigh...
So: next up,
Soothsayer by Mike Resnick. It sounds fun, and it's been on my TBR pile since December 2005!
