All four stories in BCS #46 and #47 got a great review from Lois Tilton, the short fiction reviewer for Locus online (http://www.locusmag.com/Reviews/2010/07/lois-tilton-reviews-short-fiction-mid-july-2010/#bcs201007). She gave the entire month of July from BCS her "Recommended" rating.
"The Six Skills of Madame Lumiere (http://www.beneath-ceaseless-skies.com/forums/../story.php?s=97)" by Marissa Lingen: "The narrative voice is fresh, the Rust Lords make an interesting addition to the usual fairy cast, and there is some nice fantasy scenery."
"The Isthmus Variation (http://www.beneath-ceaseless-skies.com/forums/../story.php?s=95)" by Kris Millering: "What is truly fantastic is the meticulously crafted, highly mannered setting and the details of the Slow Game (theatrical performance) itself."
"The Territorialist (http://www.beneath-ceaseless-skies.com/forums/../story.php?s=103)" by Yoon Ha Lee: "A powerful imaginative creation, with a strong narrative voice as a foil that makes the intensely oppressive atmosphere bearable, increasing its interest."
"Throwing Stones (http://www.beneath-ceaseless-skies.com/forums/../story.php?s=96)" by Mishell Baker: "a lovely fantasy, mannered and sensuous. There is also a subtle subtext about the nature of gender roles that rouses echoes of our own culture."
Well-done to all these authors! If you haven't checked out these stories, you definitely should.
