Review: New Adventures in Space Opera

New Adventures in Space Opera New Adventures in Space Opera by Jonathan Strahan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

New Adventures in Space Opera is an anthology of short stories written by a variety of great authors and edited by Jonathan Strahan.  I knew I wanted to read this when I saw it included Charlie Jane Anders, but there are other writers I really enjoy reading as well.  You can read the stories in any order you like.  If you aren't sure about space opera, this is a good entry point because each story could be read in a sitting.  You aren't buying into hundreds of pages of epic storytelling.  And yet, you still get a taste of the genre.  

Bonus points: The Becky Chambers story is an origin story of a character in of one of her books but won't spoil anything for you.  I found it so sweet and was so happy it was included.
