Wow this book is impressive. It's everything I've ever wanted. Native stories by Native authors, scifi and fantasy elements, LGBT and two-spirit characters...I didn't want it to end. I hope another anthology comes out in the future!

As always, anthologies mean individual story reviews will likely pop up on my 366 Short Stories blog project, under this tag.Also, a note: I need to point out this is one of those anthologies I’ve had in my collection for, well, years. It’s been sitting on my iPad, and it was only when someone asked me if I’d read it that I went to look and found out the publisher is defunct due to the publisher, Bedside Press, being shuttered when the editor confessed to sexual misconduct and sexual assault. Af...

I loved this anthology that focuses on the experiences of Indigenous LGBTQIA+ people through a speculative fiction lens! If you are a Sci-Fi reader, I highly recommend this collection of funny, tender, and moving stories. My favourites were: - Legends are Made, Not Born by Cherie Dimaline,- Perfectly You by David A. Robertson,- The Boys Who Became Hummingbirds by Daniel Heath Justice, and;- Nete! by Darcie Little Badger"Ever after, whenever someone heard the thrilling hum of soft wings in their

This is a great collection of stories. My favorite was probably IMPOSTER SYNDROME by Mari Kurisato, which is a great story that adds it's own unique elements to a "Philip k dick/cyberpunk"-ish kind of story. I would definitely recommend this collection to anyone who loves sci-fi & fantasy

Most depictions of Native peoples are by people who aren't Native... people who feel compelled to create Native characters and stories, but who do so from a place of good intentions shaped by hundreds of years of misrepresentations of who we were, and who we are. As a Native scholar and literary critic working primarily in children's and young adult literature, I often feel quite raw after reading one starred messed up book after another about Native peoples. With that as context, I gotta say th...

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Love beyond body, space, and time is a collection of indigenous science fiction and urban fantasy focusing on LGBT and two-spirit characters. It is very well done and it was so nice to read about all these characters. I must admit that I liked some stories more than others. My favourite was definitely Aliens by Richard Van Camp, I really liked it. If you're into sci-fi, indigenous history and L

"So they darted to those whose hearts beat strongest, streaks of blinding bright grace, calling to them in soft voices, sharing stories of possibility beyond the grim dust of what was to a hopeful possibility of what could be."- The Boys Who Became The Hummingbirds, Daniel Heath JusticeI wish I could have spent more time in each of the speculative worlds as I was so immersed in the different tensions, joys and resolutions of each one.Cont'd on the blog: https://paperwanderer.wordpress.com/2...

I was really excited to read this anthology. Far too many books about persons of colour aren't written by the people they are representing. And to add to it, this book was specifically LGBTI? I was hooked. I grabbed it as soon as I saw it. Unfortunately, the biggest problem I found was the order of the first four stories, put together in such a way that it seemed all the contributions to this anthology were a bit sameish. That's not the fault of the contributors, of course, but it made an inesca...

I was provided a copy of this by the publisher.So, I stand by my opinion, that anthologies are not good to get out a reading slump, but I have to amend that this one is an exception. I couldn't put it down, because literally every story had me at the second line in the latest and didn't let me go until the end. It's everything I love (non-normative SF(F)) and every single author in this is so talented....asfggjkl. Best way to end not only the year but alsp the decade.

My favorite story in the Love Beyond Body, Space, & Time collection is cis f/f fluff by Darcie Little Badger, about which she says, "Né łe is a lighthearted story about lesbians and puppies in space." Forty chihuahas (and one husky!) need care when the dog stasis on the transport to Mars malfunctions and they all wake up, so the crew wakes up one of the human passengers, an Apache veterinarian on her way to the Martian colony to start over after a breakup. Really, does anything I say here matter...

I wasn't sure what I was getting into when I requested an e-ARC for this sci-fi anthology from Indigenous writers, most who identify somewhere on the QUILTBAG & two-spirit spectrum. My exposure to such an intersection is pathetically close to zero. But I hope this anthology will inspire more publishers to buy works from queer, Indigenous SFF writers, because the world needs more of this.We have some great openings from Hope Nicholson, Grace L. Dillon, and Niigaanwewidam James Sinclair before we

This was the original March pick for the Indigenous Reading Circle but it was discovered to be out of print. I took advantage of interlibrary loan to read it anyway.First of all, I skipped the Gwen Benaway story after learning she had lied about an indigenous background. Come on people, stop doing that, sheesh.My favorite stories were ALIENS by Richard Van Camp, LEGENDS ARE MADE, NOT BORN by Cherie Dimaline, and NÉ LE! by Darcie Little Badger.

Love Beyond Body, Space, and Time is an excellent collection of short stories, and its existence is completely necessary. I think marginalised communities deserve to be able to read more genre fiction about themselves, especially when there are so many ways that marginalised identities intersect. This anthology fills a gap that deserves to be filled.I was familiar with some of the writers in this anthology, and the ones I already knew were ones I already adored. Some of the others were entirely

Some really great stories in here! And not a bad one in the bunch! I'd call this more a collection of speculative fiction rather than strict science fiction, so there's something in here for you even if you're not a hard SF fan. Full review here

Aliens, by Richard Van Camp4/5 Definitely a beautiful story with a Two-Spirited characterLegends are made, not born, by Cherie Dimaline 2/5 Didn’t really understand what this story was about . . . Perfectly you, by David A. Robertson4.5/5 OMG I LOVED THIS ONE! It shows how important it is to enjoy your life while you canThe boys who became the hummingbirds, by Daniel Heath Justice5/5 Definitely my favourite! This story is about being who you truly are, and not being ashamed of it. And you should...

This is a beautiful and tender anthology.I went into it with little to none knowledge about indigenous writers or two-spirits. So for me the introductory essays were very good and helpful.Although I would half of the stories not necessarily count among SF, every single one of them convinces with humanity and loving understanding of the authors for their characters. I felt somehow safe and warm while reading them.My favourites were:- "Perfectly you" by David A. Robertson, which deeply moved me an...

This is a very short anthology, just 120 pages, which I think flew under the radar when it came out in 2016. It contains short stories from some very well known Indigenous authors, including Cherie Dimaline (The Marrow Thieves, Empire of Wild), Daniel Heath Justice (Why Indigenous Literatures Matter), and Darcie Little Badger (Elatsoe, A Snake Falls to Earth) among others. For me, the stand out was Darcie Little Badger's story about a Lipan Apache veterinarian on a spaceship to Mars, who has to

i really liked almost all the stories in this! my favorites were Né łe, Valediction at the Star View Hotel, and especially The Boys Who Became the Hummingbirds. I also really appreciated that a lot (more than half) of the stories were about trans characters - in 'lgbt' anthologies (and 'lgbt' stories in general) like this it's usually at least 99% cis gay people.

3.75 starsI enjoyed - even loved - most of the stories in this anthology. And, not only did they entertain me immensely, but they educated me too.

Your ancestors will find you, one way or another. 3.5 stars. A really creative collection of stories about indigenous queer and two-spirit characters, most with a sci-fi/speculative bent. As with a lot of anthologies, I had mixed reactions to the stories. Some I thought were really beautiful, some were just okay, a couple I didn't really understand well (and that's all on me). I sometimes skip introductions in anthologies like this, and I'm VERY glad I didn't skip this one, because I actually
