Book Review: Between Worlds — The Collected Ile-Rien and Cineth Stories by Martha Wells

/

Six by Six: A New Kind of Spec-Fic Anthology was a kickstarter conceived by a sextet of science fiction authors: Bradley Beaulieu, Brenda Cooper, Stephen Gaskell, Tina Connolly, Will McIntosh, and Martha Wells. The idea was to make an anthology of anthologies. Six authors, each with a short anthology of selected stories, six in number. Thirty-Six stories in total. Now that the kickstarter has completed and the rewards been given, the individual authors are making their anthologies available to the general public. Between Worlds: The Collected Ile-Rien and Cineth Stories is Martha Wells’ volume within Six by Six.
