i only read the LKH.i had this theory that if LKH walked away from the Anita Blake series and the Merry Gentry series for awhile maybe her writing would return to the level of quality everyone fell in love with. if this is any type of indication of what would come out of something fresh i was very, very wrong.meep.Only two of the stories in here were really worth it to me. The title one, by Hamilton, was excellent and maybe should have been last to save the book. The last one, by Sharon Shinn, was okay as well. The other two were a slodge-podge of a mess. The second one, Shadow of the Mist, in which a paranormal society features selkies and mermen...an exceedingly cool world (supposedly) was heavily bogged down by the introduction of too many unnecessary side characters. The main character does nothing.
Can He Bake a Cherry Pie? 5 STARSI dont think this is a retelling of a fairy tale if so I dont recognize it but this is how I think they should be it seems too often that to make the female hero of the story a hero for today we take away the qualities we deem girly but it was that she was so good at doing womens work and acting in the meek and sweet way women were expected too that got her through the obstacles set before her Im not saying that women shouldnt be able to slap on some armor and
Good anthologySharon Shinns story is a good sample of her usual work, tho her books are better. I liked that one. Laurel K Hamiltons voice is true too, and I loved this story. Hard pass on Galenorn, tho I keep trying her stories in the hope that perhaps one will speak to me sufficiently to entice me to try her series. Not based on this one. Lius Tangleroot Palace is the most beautiful short story in the set and I will be looking for more work by her.
I had the pleasure of chatting with Marjorie M Liu awhile back after her interview and really enjoyed an insight into her writing habits. During her interview she mentioned this book among her new releases and I thought it would be a good time to check her work and some of the other authors I haven't read yet (Shinn and Galenorn).Although the spine labels this as urban fantasy to appeal to the UF/PR crowd, I'd say this was more fantasy/fantasy romance which is one of my top fave genres. Only one
--The premise of this collection was a lot better than the performance and Hamilton's name was used to sell books. I really love her Merry Gentry novels and like almost all the Anita Blake novels, but her story is the lamest of the four. Inspecting the works of the other authors, none of them would I make any effort to read given a choice. Actually The Wrong Bridegroom by Sharon Shinn is a pretty good story if a little contrived. I hate to rank any book I read at 3 stars or below, but could not
05/2012 This contains four novellas by four different authors (I picked it up because I was interested in the story by Sharon Shinn). It was not my cuppa tea. I thought the story by Sharon Shinn wasn't as good as most of her writing. The main character was annoying, and I found myself wanting to shake her for not seeing the completely obvious (I'm not entirely sure why, as most of Shinn's romances are rather obvious, and I generally like this because sometimes reliable fluff is nice). All four
