Best-of-the-year anthologies are almost always solid additions to a library's sf/fantasy collection as the selections are stellar examples of short fiction. This particular volume is better than most, as it draws not only from the Nebula Award longlist but also includes multiple types of short fiction, ranging from poems to novellas and even excerpts from the winning novel for both the adult and YA categories. Vylar Kaftan's award-winning novella, "The Weight of the Sunrise," is an outstanding example of the format and an important contribution to sf literature.
VERDICT Readers new to sf will enjoy browsing through this anthology, and fans will delight in discovering unfamiliar writers. With an introduction, text of several speeches, and a complete listing of the 2014 Nebula Awards, this is an excellent addition to popular culture collections.
