I bought this to see if ParSec magazine could replace Interzone (after 2 lifetime subs then a 6 issue sub, I now find Interzone boring). The stories all seemed to be well written and quality stories, but mostly uninteresting. I finished 4 stories, and particularly enjoyed the Ken MacLeod and Gwyneth Jones contributions, which isn't surprising. The rest were fantasy/horror/adjacent genres which I am not interested in.
