The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year: Volume Twelve

The Best SF&F Volume Twelve contains 29 short stories of genre fiction selected by Jonathan Strahan. I was so impressed with last year's Volume Eleven that I didn't hesitate to buy this new Volume Twelve when it was released in March 2018. It is another high-quality collection in which every story deserves to be read. Authors include Charlie Jane Anders, Samuel R. Delany, Greg Egan, Dave Hutchinson, Caitlin R Kiernan, Yoon Ha Lee, Max Gladstone, Alastair Reynolds, and many more.

29 stories are a lot to get through and I admit that this volume took me a long time to complete. As with most short-story collections, some stories are more enjoyable than others. It should be remembered that my opinions are 100% subjective; a story I love may be your idea of a waste of valuable reading-time. So, I will offer my reasons why I enjoyed the stories I've highlighted below, as well as try to keep my summaries spoiler-free.
