## Reception

John ONeill on blackgate.com writes "Silvia Moreno-Garcia's introduction is one of the most powerful non-fiction pieces I've read in a Nebula anthology in a long time, both a celebration of the increasing diversity in our field, and a bald statement about why it's so vitally important." He notes that "[t]his year's volume contains some magnificent material," highlighting the pieces by Roanhorse, Robson and Wells.
