Steampunk isn't a favorite genre for me - I don't dislike it, but I have no great draw towards it, either - so while this wasn't bad, it didn't wow me. Unsurprisingly, the standout story was Seanan McGuire's; I'm glad it was placed last, so as to end the anthology on a high note.

The last time I read this was probably back in high school. I knew it was a good book then (they told us so), but it's impressive how much more I get from it reading it as an adult. I'm left with the unfortunate belief that this is a book that will _never_ go out of date. All too applicable to today, as much as it was when it was written.

Though I'd seen the movie, this was the first time reading the book. Impressed by how closely the two mesh (to my memory, at least, it's been a while since I've watched it). Dark, of course, and realizing that Alex was written as being 15 at the start of the story was a surprise. The natsat slang was fascinating to actually read, as well.

I don't actually know much about Ms. Marvel, but this was a very enjoyable collection of the recent run.
