• Fantasy Literature reviews HOW TO MAKE FRIENDS WITH DEMONS by Graham Joyce: – "Impossible to put down. … A beautiful novel."
• Booklist reviews ECLIPSE THREE edited by Jonathan Strahan: – "A brilliant wide ranging anthology."
• Strange Horizons reviews THE WINDUP GIRL by Paolo Bacigalupi: – "Written with a feral conviction … provides fertile ground for discussion of many kinds, by many kinds of readers. … An unremittingly harsh work … I can't recall another novel that has articulated the same vision of what it means to be human in the present moment with the same force. It's that vision that insists that [the "windup girl"] Emiko is human, and that she remains bound at the end of the novel: because we remain bound, and she is us; because at least for now, science fiction remains bound; and because, quite probably, so does our world."
