How Long 'til Black Future Month?

my average for these stories was a mean of 3.14 (median of 3), but i'd give the collection as a whole a 3.5. there was enough in here that really got me thinking. i was excited to be introduced to new worlds and to see glimpses of ones i had already read from before. this has definitely amped me up to read more of Jemisen's books. i just wish i had loved more of these. i still highly recommend the collection, the ideas in here are just amazing.
