Rave for the Del Rey Book of SF&F at Strange Horizons

The reviewers here really get the stories--thank you!
Strange Horizons review


The final lines are:
"The anthology as a whole deserves acclaim for its willingness to take chances by presenting ambitious and complex work that could have failed in the hands of weaker writers. Ellen Datlow's point of view continues to be one of the most relevant and forward-thinking in the field today."

I believe the review was written by Richard Larson. I especially like what he does with the Sussex/Ardent Clouds, a favorite story of mine that seemed to be a bit overlooked.

I think you're right--the only reason I questioned it was the header on the review which originally said "the editors" --checking now and it looks like they fixed that and added his name.

Yes. "Ardent Clouds" is very nicely analyzed.
