Aliette de Bodard. In Everlasting Wisdom. (Infinity Wars ed Strahan)
An interesting conceit, but the story whizzes through quickly.
Aliette de Bodard. A Salvaging of Ghosts. (Beneath Ceaseless Skies #195 March 2016)
A little polished nugget of a story.
Aliette de Bodard. Three Cups of Grief, by Starlight. (Clarkesworld #100, January 2015)
A story that does indeed ‘hit the spot’ nicely, with the accustomed oriental mannerisms, familial devotions and structures that clearly mark it out as a Xuya story.
Aliette de Bodard. The Frost on Jade Buds. (Solaris Rising 3)
In de Bodard’s Xuya series, and this includes recurrent themes of familial relationships, honour alongside big spaceships and galaxy spanning action.

Set in the Xuya sequence, young Quynh Ha finds herself given a task by the Dust Queen – a living legend whose Martian dust dances she has long admired.
Aliette de Bodard. Memorials. (Asimovs January 2014)
Part of de Bodard’s ‘Xuya’ series of stories and nice to have a story with purely female characters, thus avoiding any need to have plot driven by hairy-arsed testosterone!
Aliette de Bodard. The Angel at the Heart of the Rain. (Interzone #246, May-Jun 2013)
Well-written short-short in which a young refugee realises that in embracing her new life she must leave behind the ways of the past.
Aliette de Bodard. Starsong. (Asimovs August 2012)
Part of AdB’s ongoing ‘Xuya’ sequence in which we take a peek into the mind of a ship, as echoes and dreams from the past show us steps made on its journey in a previous life.
Aliette de Bodard. Two Sisters in Exile. (Solaris Rising 1.5)
Another excellent installment in the future Xuya sequence.
Aliette de Bodard. Ship’s Brother. (Interzone, #241, Jul-Aug 2012)
Third in the future Xuya sequence, an effective story, as the others, gradually building up layers to create a more complicated setting.
Aliette de Bodard. Shipbirth. (Asimovs, February 2011).
The Xuya timeline gets into space, and colour me impressed.
Aliette de Bodard. The Shipmaker. (Interzone #231, Nov/Dec 2010).
welcoming non-western/eurocentric, non-male perspective
Aliette de Bodard. Age of Miracles, Age of Wonders. (Interzone #230, Sept-Oct 2010)
The Gods of the Aztecs have fallen, replaced by an altogether more earthbound regime of metal and cogs.
Asimovs July 2010.
A bit of a curate’s egg of an issue.
Aliette de Bodard. The Jaguar House, in Shadow. (Asimov’s, July 2010)
Well constructed and well handled story in the author’s ‘Xuya’ sequence.
Gareth L. Powell and Aliette de Bodard. The Church of Accelerated Redemption. (Shine)
A strong contribution from Powell and de Bodard.

Aliette de Bodard. The Wind-Blown Man. (Asimovs Feb 2010)
Good to see another author being given a chance in Asimovs, and certainly the best of the few of her stories that I’ve read. I look forward to seeing more – hopefully with her moving on to even more alien landscapes,
