Not a good sci-fi anthology & fantasy for me

I have been reading sci-fi since I was a kid and that's a lot of years. I especially love reading/listening to sci-fi anthologies so I was looking forwards to the best of 2022. I was very disappointed with this anthology. I could not find anything that engaged my curiosity or entertained me.

Really poorly assembled

I have been a Science Fiction and Fantasy fan font entire reading life, 72 years. This was maybe the worst anthology that I’ve tried to read. Surely there was much better Science Fiction and fantasy published this last year!
