Right, well I managed to endure 35 minutes of this meaningless and equally pointless endeavor that is known as "Broken Star". Wow, just wow. This movie totally failed to enthrall me and provided no form of entertainment in any possible way.

He dudado bastante entre 3 y 4 estrellas, el problema es que no soy un gran seguidor de las antologías, de cualquier tipo, y por ese motivo creo que ha perdido la 4 estrella. As is my experience with most short story collections, I rarely love a everything the whole way through. If there's going to be ups and downs in a collection from a single author, you can bet that most anthologies are going to take an even more tumultuous ride. Indeed, that's the case with Broken Stars which was a little disappointing when held next to Invisible Planets. As you can tell by the almost five months it took me to get through the collection, I was never compelled to return to the stories for more than half of the read.Broken Star is a 2018 American psychological thriller film directed by Dave Schwep and starring Analeigh Tipton and Tyler Labine. Como en la primera antología, también vamos a encontrar 3 ensayos que nos ayudarán a ponernos en contexto sobre la evolución del género en el país y como cada vez cobra más relevancia dentro de su literatura. Esto hace que el libro sea todavía más interesante. Now, three years later, comes Liu’s newest anthology of contemporary Chinese science fiction: Broken Stars, which offers 16 more translated stories. It’s a collection that’s just as surprising, exciting, and engrossing as the first.

Without it, kin is set against kin, Clan against Clan. Hold fast to truth in all your dealings and let it guide your words. The situation and the performances are strong, but without a good story to hold everything together, it all falls apart in the end. Don't waste your time, apprentice! I've shared dreams with StarClan. You will have to kill me nine times over before I join them. Do you really think you're strong enough for that? I truly don’t know what to think of this story. It’s dark and a bit horrific, but also features a young woman who decides to take matters into her own hands after she is bullied and assaulted.Its revealed on author Victoria Holmes' Facebook that Brokenstar's greatest fear was not being respected by others. Los 16 cuentos constituyen una mezcla heterogénea y representativa de lo que se está escribiendo dentro del género en China. Son todos muy diferentes entre sí y abordan todo tipo de temáticas; también hay algunos que serían inclasificables, como ya comenta el editor en los prefacios. Para mí destacan también por su originalidad y por tener ese punto que los vuelve irresistibles y cautivadores. Ha rozado las cinco estrellas, pero me han fallado algunos cuentos para dárselas.

The indie drama “Broken Star” features Analeigh Tipton as Markey Marlowe, a scandal-plagued actress hiding out from the press in a low-rent duplex owned by a loner named Daryl (Tyler Labine), who’s obsessed with her. Over the course of several days, Markey and Daryl take turns manipulating each other, in ways so densely intertwined that it’s hard to know who has the upper hand. Ken is also the translator for Liu Cixin's The Three-Body Problem, Hao Jingfang's Vagabonds, Chen Qiufan's Waste Tide, as well as the editor of Invisible Planets and Broken Stars, anthologies of contemporary Chinese science fiction. I was also a little thrown off by "Broken Stars" by Tang Fei - somehow it started off with a girl in school and struggling with friendships, then ended in insanity, death, and forced cannibalism. Uh.... You will all stay here. You will all be loyal to me. Or I will kill every one of you. (...) Say nothing to any cat. You will fight alongside us. And if I hear any one of you spreading rumors and lies among your Dark Forest Clanmates, you will suffer beyond anything you have ever known.

About the contributors

Clarkesworld Magazine readers will immediately recognize many of the names in Broken Stars since, through its partnership with the Chinese media company Storycom, the US-based publication is able to bring one work of Chinese sf in translation to anglophone readers each month. However, even readers who have encountered some of these stories before will be excited to see them once again, this time shoulder-to-shoulder with newly translated and brilliant stories like Ma Bo-yong’s humorously anachronistic “The First Emperor’s Games” or Cheng Jingbo’s mystical “Under a Dangling Sky.” Rereading already-familiar stories, too, is rewarding (as I can attest from my own second reading of Xia Jia’s graceful and poignant “Goodnight, Melancholy”). If any of that were ever really the case, it certainly doesn't seem so now—or, to put it more bluntly: we were wrong, wrong in almost every particular. The U.S.S.R. is no more; the U.S.A.'s grip on the future seems more precarious with every executive tweet; and China has become a political and technological powerhouse that absolutely can not be (and of course should never have been) overlooked or ignored.

Estrellas rotas» es la segunda antología de ciencia ficción china contemporánea editada por Ken Liu. En ella vamos a encontrar 16 relatos de diferentes autoras y autores chinos; algunos ya conocidos gracias a «Planetas invisibles» o a otras novelas publicadas, pero también descubriremos nuevas voces. Marlene wants revenge on her best actress friend and tells Daryl she wants her best friend Sydney (Natasha Loring) to have all her hair ripped out by hand. No problem, Daryl races out, drugs the drinks of Sydney at a bar, follows her home and captures her and pulls her hair out by hand. Natasha Loring sizzles in her few minutes of screen time. Either A) Markey or Darryl "changed the ending" to start all over again and redefine their relationship-----and not ending up with having anyone tormented/killed(which then would make this psychological thriller take a sharp turn into supernatural territory-----or, B) Markey dreamed the whole thing up, as another reviewer commented. And she's "starting over again" but in a more brave, more positive light, without the initial whiny self-pity and narcissism. (Exemplified by the motto "Be alone but brave" scrawled across her arm at the end). The “These Broken Stars” TV series was anticipated to air in the U.S. on the Freeform network and Sky TV in the U.K. The highly acclaimed Canadian writer, director, and producer Simon Barry stepped forward to write the screen adaptation of the book. Award-winning and co-founder of Reality Distortion Field, Barry is widely known for producing sci-fi, horror, and fantasy content, including the Netflix series “Bad Blood” and “Warrior Nun.”

Bristlefrost • Rootspring • Shadowsight • Bramblestar • Squirrelflight • Ashfur • Stemleaf • Spotfur • Graystripe In book one of the Starbound Trilogy, published by Disney-Hyperion in the U.S., “These Broken Stars” captivated readers with its epic story of star-crossed lovers and their survival against the odds. Young adults (and older, too!) can’t seem to get enough of Lilac and Tarver’s encounters with disaster, the growing fondness for one another, and touches of paranormal, sci-fi fantasy. Here's one thing: "the first text in the science fiction genre can be found [in China] as early as 450 BC to 375 BC". Who would have thought that someone from that age had been thinking about automatons... While all these stories can be classified as “science fiction,” they successfully push the boundaries of that category, with some leaning more toward the fantastic and mystical, and others taking the historical or hard sf route. We even learn about subgenres within science fiction that have developed in China, such as chuanyue, which is a species of story that merges time-travel fiction and science fiction (as in Zhang Ran’s “The Snow of Jinyang”). Broken Stars is valuable in the scope of Chinese genre fiction. Literature in China – its publication, regulation, and its very creation – has had a difficult ride. During Mao’s Cultural Revolution, the only book legally allowed to be owned by citizens was his own Little Red Book.
