Two more reviews for this week:

@amritesh.bsky.social on @willthisbeaproblem.bsky.social Volume 5 ("to witness these stories is to dream without apology").

@subham6.bsky.social on Olivie Blake's Gifted & Talented, from @tordotcom.bsky.social ("Blake offers no easy answers, and that’s the point").

@strangehorizons.bsky.social describes Issue V as a chaotic, genre-defying constellation of stories that resists categorisation and models a form of narrative rebellion 🧵

Read the latest review by @amritesh.bsky.social: strangehorizons.com/wordpress/no...
Graphic set on a teal background with curved orange and teal circular accents and the WTBAP logo. Below the logo, teal text reads: What reviewers are saying about. Followed by bold black text: Will This Be A Problem? The Anthology: Issue V. In the centre stands a man wearing a bright orange patterned suit, surrounded by a trail of colourful stars and sparkles flowing across the bottom. Website URL appears at the bottom, with three red swipe arrows pointing right in the lower corner. Excerpt from Strange Horizons Review of Will This Be A Problem? The Anthology: Issue V. Design is set on a teal background with curved orange and teal circular accents, the WTBAP logo at the top and the website's URL at the bottom. Text reads: The book is the latest product of a thriving speculative fiction ecosystem across the African continent. Over the last decade, African writers have been reclaiming genre spaces, building their own speculative traditions rooted in local myth and anti-colonial politics. Many of these writers consciously draw on Africanfuturism, a term coined by Nnedi Okorafor, a mode of imagining that keeps its gaze rooted in Africa—its cultures and its histories—rather than relying on Western filters.

Your last review of the SH week, it is here! @amritesh.bsky.social on Vardhini Amin's The Forestborns.

"Amin brings [a] global tradition of anthropomorphic storytelling to Indian soil, language, and spirit with a gentle, fable-like charm."
The Forestborns by Vardhini Amin
