Uncanny Magazine Issue 31 Professional technical support The story loses some steam toward the end as the plot and the treatment of time travel and multiple timelines get a little muddled The ending raises some interesting ideas though and I overall I enjoyed A Time to Reap Lynne M Thomas Review rating solely for A Time to Reap by Elizabeth Bear well done time travel and murder mystery novella and I think you are better off going in cold just reading it Like all time travel stories itoesn t really make sense and the ending gets even muddier But a helluva story Elizabeth Bear s writing just keeps getting better better Strong 4 stars highly recommended especially for Bear fans. Uncut magazine current issue No clear plot just a bunch of monster erotica with graphic sex tentacles included and vague hard boiled detective work Or maybe I am too stupid to understand what it meant Oh well Iid not enjoy it I usually love the author s work Lynne M Thomas
