There's not a single story on here that i would consider poor - the vast majority I scored 4- or 5- stars and, for those I didn't, it was more that they were simply not my type of thing. For instance, there were a couple that I thought more vignettes for sketches, not fleshed out enough to be trues stories, but I know that is something of a personal taste issue.
The real joy of this collection, though, is that it has introduced me to so many authors I may otherwise never have come across but are now no-questions-asked purchases. I can't wait to get to the other tor.com "some of the best" volumes.
I've reviewed the tales individually as I've gone along, so will just give the ratings here.

I hoped I'd maybe stumbled upon a goldmine that I could dig around in periodically, but it's all fool's gold in here, I'm afraid.
I suppose when I didn't recognise a single author's name I should've heard alarm bells - this bloody Covid situation has turned me into a cabbage.
