There were a few more authors that I hadn't heard of, but the quality of the work was uniformly good (or better) throughout. <br /><br />Assuming you're in the mood for that sort of work, then yes, this year's collection was rather good. Last year's was genuinely pretty great too, with a few bigger names - might be worth starting there.<br /><br />Also - thanks for the kind words. Glad you're enjoying it!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12673697265592398696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4952138064105005427.post-78989171392907925942016-05-03T10:20:12.184-07:002016-05-03T10:20:12.184-07:00Oh, by the way...

So I've been reluctant to read this series. He's a great editor. And podcaster. And very knowledgeable regarding SF. But I'm a bit suspicious about his ability to search out and include the best of the year's Fantasy. Am I totally wrong?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
