Hello and welcome! What tumblr thread, may I ask? I'm always curious. :-)
I've read Gaslight Dogs! (My telegraphic writeup here.) It pushed my buttons galore for about the first third (and frankly, that colored my feelings about it -- I never really end up trusting a book that sends all my sirens going like that), but ultimately did some very sweet I-Wholly-Approve-Of-That-Depiction things with its discussions of colonialism. I did have one lingering, strong reservation about it by the end, but am looking forward with interest to its sequel. (There will be a sequel, yes?)
Please feel free to post your own write-up of Gaslight Dogs, if you want -- one does NOT need to sign up for the 50 books part of the challenge to make recs or discuss books here. AFAIK, the link I gave you above is the only time the book has been mentioned on the comm, and it'd be nice to have more.
Yanno, I don't remember "The Forgotten Ones" at all -- I might have to reread that anthology.
