Clarkesworld Magazine Issue 233 Reviews

4.5
“These were such phenomenal short stories. I had some standout favorites and I'm really grateful that I signed up for it. I'm looking forward to reading this month's short stories. I just can't believe that they pump out consistently exceptional stories and have done for so many years. If you like dystopian sci-fi then you really need to subscribe to Clarksworld magazine (And then come read the stories with us each month ahha)”
“An excellent slate of stories! There was only two I wasn't so hot on, and they were still good, but the rest were memorable, exciting, thoughtful pieces. I think Remember Me In The Flesh and Three Fortunes were my highlights, though I think about Sleeper Ship quite a bit.”
