Great as always. Some stories that appealed to me this time were: * Six Months After All Life on Titan Died - J.B.Park * Death Is Better - Oluwatomiwa Ajeigbe * The Bodhi Tree Asks Only For the Safe Return of Her Beloved - Ashok K. Banker * Starpoop - Sandra McDonald * Muna in Barish - Isha Karki

Interesting stories this time for me were: * Spaceship Joyride - Dominique Dickey * Jaywalk the Stars - Elad Haber * Queen of the Andes - Ruth Joffre * Bestiary Viventem - Kyle E. Miller

This really grew on me as I got more into it and it has left some interesting ideas dangling. I need to find the next in the series now...

@moss@bookwyrm.social Having only recently encountered Hopepunk, I've just ordered them both. I enjoyed the first few of the Wayfarers already :)

@moss@bookwyrm.social I don't have any specific recommendations myself, but will look on interestedly with any you get. I've seen it described as "cozy fantasy" - have you seen that? If not, it might be worth looking at some of the cozy fantasy lists out there.

Related, but not quite the same, I've also seen mention of "hopepunk" which I actually really quite like the sound of too :) (again apologies if this is all "old news" for you)
