Naomi Novik. Seven Years from Home. (Year’s Best Science Fiction 28th Annual Collection)
Cleverly handled in terms of structure and the gradual reveal, with a strong female character, without a heaving bosom in sight.
Rich Horton. The Year’s Best Science Fiction and Fantasy 2009.
A late arrival on my doorstep, and it’s taken much longer to finish the review than I had hoped. Note to self : faster dude, faster!
