I read the first Issue of Forever Magazine edited by Neil Clarke.
Ken Liu (“The Regular”) --- 2 stars [C-]
Susan Palwick (“The Fate of Mice”) --- 3 stars [C+]
Peter Watts (“Firebrand”) --- 1 star [D]
I liked The Fate of Mice the most. Interesting perspective from an intelligent talking mouse.
The Regular was basically a near-future catch-the-bad-guy who is identified from the beginning. The manner in which he is caught was unbelievable ridiculous.
Firebrand was just boring.
