Joe Sherry at Adventures in Reading reviews Liz Williams’s Snake Agent. Here’s a snippet: "What works about Snake Agent is not so much the details of the story, but rather how Williams tells it. The details, great as they are, are the window dressing to entice readers to open the book. Once readers do, and they should, the readers will find a mystery spanning both Earth and Hell, humans and demons, goddesses, lost and found souls, cover ups, Hellish conspiracies, an expansion on what exactly the mystery reveals, and nice detective action."

Rob Bedford at SFF World reviews Wastelands: "I can’t help but give this collection the highest recommendation. I think this will be a cornerstone for most reader’s shelves."

New Mexico paper The Alibi interviews Walter Jon Williams about Implied Spaces and his fourth-degree black belt.

The June issue of Asimov’s Science Fiction, Peter Heck has a review of The Spiral Labyrinth by Matthew Hughes: "Hughes somehow catches the trick of combining dray understatement with a colorful, almost baroque, vocabulary that characterized much of Jack Vance’s best writing. If you enjoy the latter as much as I do, this series by Hughes may well be just your cup of tea."
