eorI had been waiting anxiously to start the February Asimov's, so as soon as I finished "Fire" I started reading through the short stories. I finished the last of the stories Tuesday night, so once again I devour the issue in a day.
This month's notable mentions are as follows: The novella, "Recovering Apollo 8" drew me in despite a slightly removed feel from the third person perspective. I think that perspective was necessary considering the time span that the story covers. I was drawn toward the thoughtful ending, like a slow spiral roll. I suspended my disbelief in favor of the characters and rarely addressed perspectives of "Outgoing." I howled at the last line. Among the short stories "A Portrait of the Artist" was my favorite. "Close" was fascinating, just a touch sad and creepy. It did a great job of painting an atmosphere that nobody is particularly thrilled to breath.
