Reviews
"The standouts are the three central pieces: Kate Osias's 'The Unmaking of the Cuadro Amoroso, ' in which an enclave of prodigies takes revenge on imperial war machines; Olivia Ho's 'Working Woman, ' reexamining Frankenstein's monster amid the multicultural power brokers of Singapore; and Robert Liow's 'Spider Here, ' a hard-SF adventure with a suicide bomber, illegal fights, and a disabled schoolgirl protagonist. Even the slighter stories have the craft, perspective, and components that merit savoring, and the finest would be worth considering for any year's best anthology." --Publishers Weekly
