Alex Brown in Reactor Magazine (formerly Tor.com) highlight's Emma Burnett's “Escape Choice” as one of several must read speculative short stories in January. They recognize the experiences of the neurodivergent protagonist, and his growth to better articulate his boundaries and resist the lack of understanding from others. This sharp review helped me read the story, even.

The Rose Sisterhood -wonderful take on that tale.

The Rose Sisterhood - there are often feminist takes on the story. This one is quite original, even as it is kin to Tanith Lee's "when The Clock Strikes."

Over at Frivolous Comma, a review of Emma Burnett’s “Escape Choice” has a different reading of the story (and multiple readings are good), concluding “I highly recommend this quick read. It was insightful and enjoyable.”
