reading (Asimov's Jan)

I finished the January issue of Asimov's last night. I liked the differing viewpoints of Kristine Kathryn Rusch's "Killer Advice". It wasn't really a mystery and it wasn't really a thriller, but a mixture of genres. I liked how "Ashes on The Water" played out. The plot and pictures it drew worked well together. The universe that "Dolly" awakens in is detailed to the pinpoint of social realism, which Elizabeth Bear builds in amazingly few pages. The I think some of the evidence building is left out in the process, but it doesn't really lessen the story.

Overall, not a bad issue. None of the stories overwhelmed me with "Oh, wow", but a pretty good pack.

30. Asimov's January 2011
