It’s always fascinating to read stories from other cultures and this series has always done a great job finding new and interesting stories from around the world, and from cultures you wouldn’t normally expect.
Collections like this are often a mixed bag with some stories appealing more than others though for me this was one of the few where even the stories I didn’t like as much still really interested me and I was glad to read all of them.
My favorites were the first three in the book, Nkasht ii by Darcie Little Badger which really makes me want to read more speculative fiction from Native American authors in general and this author (and characters) in particular. I look forward to finding more from her.
I also loved A Series of Steaks by Vina Jie-Min Prasad, it was one of the strongest science fiction stories in the collections.
And finally, accursed Lineage by Daina Chaviano, a strange little gem and a family I would love to spend more time with.
These three stood out, but most of the others were just as good, for me this was one of their strongest collections yet. Definitely one I will be rereading over time.

I love this series, and this was the best of them so far. (

It look me a long time to read this one; I found this set of stories to be one to savor, enjoyed best in small doses. The entire Apex anthology series has been stellar and, with this volume's reach of international science fiction and fantasy, I think this one is the best book of the lot. I loved how every story pushed me to read outside of my regular tracts, and I'll be thinking about, and revisiting, these stories for a long time.

Recommended.

I’m always happy to see another of these Apex World SF volumes. This one is full of stories by authors from all over the world, and while it’s not as difficult to find international science fiction now as it was when the first volume was published, it’s still great to find so many varied and high quality stories in one place. One of my favourites from the book is the opening story, A Series of Steaks by Vina Jie-Min Prasad, set in a future world with a main character who forges expensive cuts of meat using bioprinting. I also really liked the closing story, Ugo by Giovanni De Feo, about a relationship between a woman and a man who apparently has memories of future events. It has an ending that leaves various interpretations of what happened possible, but it’s an ambiguity that worked well for me. And talking of ambiguity, Verdana Singh’s Ambiguity Machines: An Examination makes another appearance here, the only story I’d read previously after enjoying her collection last year. The rest of the stories are varied, ranging from science fiction to fantasy, and while I enjoyed some more than others, overall it was a really good read, and I’m already looking forward to any future volumes Apex release.

The S in SF for this book means speculative, so you get a wide variety of fiction - from ghost stories, horror and fantasy and Science Fiction. You also get a wider variety of countries represented by the authors and so a variety of settings. Ghost stories and horror aren't really my thing, but one of those ghost stories, Ghostalker was a fizzy, exciting little tale. There's a story that shows that there's plenty still to say about time travel, a fantasy set on the strangest of worlds, and a couple of modern folk stories. Apart from those that aren't my thing, the rest are of a uniformly high quality. (
