Analog May 2009 Wrap-Up


So that is absolutely everything in the May 2009 issue reviewed, not a bad start for half a week.

The short stories rank pretty easily:
A Story, with Beans was far and away the best.
A Measure of Devotion was in the middle, and
The Brother on the Shelf is the bottom of my barrel.

The Novelettes were a bit harder to rank. They were all at least decent, but the top slot is close between Rendezvous at Angels Thirty and Quickfeathers. After some deliberation I have an ordering:

I'm a bit worried my scale isn't sufficiently sensitive to measure the differences, but it makes me waste less time on pondering out exact scores. I'll stick with it, but just keep a grand, unified chart of story rankings going henceforth.
