I'm waiting for my copy of Exhalation from the library, so that'll have to wait.
I liked Emergency Skin more than I usually like NK Jemisin's other short works - I love her novels, but feel like her short stories tend to feel a lot thinner? And in some ways this feels a little on-the-nose, too, but I think the slightly longer length works to her benefit.
The Blur in the Corner of Your Eye was a fun horror story - I liked it well enough to make an FPP about it, but didn't necessarily find it amazing.
The Archonolgy of Love is about someone looking for answers after their loved one is wiped out by a plague. I'll wait on that one for a while.
Away With the Wolves - Considering how badly Chronic Illness/Chronic pain and disability is usually treated in science fiction, I'm willing to look past some of the clunky writing.
For He Can Creep was the most entertaining of them all, especially when I managed to forget about Cats halfway through (also, the nighthunter moppet!)
