First time reading a magazine like this. There used to be so many, making short stories available, running series, and showcasing often new authors every month. What a time to have been alive and involved. This was fandoms.
This particular edition was alright. I liked about half of what I read. I DNFd one of the “fact” sections. The main story “Supernova” was good, but not quite what I expected from the title.
3.5 out of 5 stars.
I struggled with this one a little. It was very... Dry. Which I probably should have expected.
I enjoyed the religious conversations Ellie had with Palmer early on. But I was put off by their final talk, where Ellie seems to say apparently there's a god behind all there is anyway. A god in the numbers. Some alien so incredibly, indescribably, unfathomably old, who created the wormholes and put a message into pi.
And then there's the letter from her mother, which basically undermines Ellie's entire life. Why was that necessary? Why even include that? Did I miss the reasoning?
I'm going to watch the movie, to see what was changed. I've seen it before, but don't remember it very well.
I had a good enough time with this one. I am glad I read it.
3.5 out of 5 stars.
This was fun, sweet, wholesome, and satisfying, but also darker than the previous book.
We leave the Wayfarer and join Pepper, Sidra and Blue. Told from 2 POVs, a much older story entwines itself with the present narrative, ending with the two all mixed thoroughly together, happily.
It's a story as old as the universe: finding oneself amongst what might seem like scrap.
What does it mean to be human? What does it mean to be me? How do I fit in? Pepper and Sidra found their answers, both together and separately.
I think I enjoyed the Pepper sections most. Her resilience, determination, and resourcefulness are inspiring.
4 out of 5 stars.
I listened to this one as an audiobook.
Maybe it's because it's 2026, maybe because I listened to it instead of reading with my eyeballs, but this just didn't fill me with that existential dread I was looking for.
It's an interesting story. I had a good time. I'm glad I was able to borrow it from the library via Hoopla. But it wasn't what I'd hoped for.
3.5 out of 5 stars.
