22. If the Martians Have Magic – P. Djèlí Clark 👽👽👽👽👽— alternate history, War of the Worlds in the past, Martians among us, magic and a voodoo priestess. Good stuff.

21. Deep in the Gardener’s Barrow – Tobi Ogundiran 🌳🌲🌳🌲☆— this made me think of Tolkien and dark German fairytales. Nice.

19. Barefoot and Midnight – Sheree Renée Thomas ☆☆— Memphis, former slaves, a burning and an unholy rage. Upsetting. It was ok.
20. The Mercy of the Sandsea – Tendai Huchu 🤖🤖🤖🤖☆— Inspired by south-east Africa (best guess), SF on a different world (?), an enhanced ex-soldier, a sandsea, a chase and fight for survival. Unforgivable sin.

18. A Soul of Small Places – Mame Bougouma Diene and Woppa Diallo 🧞♂️🧞♂️🧞♂️🧞♂️🧞♂️— a very well-told story. Senegal, the dangers of being a girl and the cost of fighting back.
