"Denne bog får "kun" 3 stjerne på grund af den varierende kvalitet af novellerne. Nogle af dem var rigtigt gode, nogle havde jeg læst før,og et par enkelte var kun ok."
"I enjoyed this collection. I have read another one with stories from most of the same writers, I think. This one was a little uneven. I didn't really love the story about Melusine. My favorite was the one by Lynn Kurland."
"Of the four novellas included in this volume, I enjoyed the middle two the best. The first novella, "The Gorgon in the Cupboard" by Patricia A. McKillip, was OK but felt a little odd--unfinished, maybe. I never really did feel I understood what was going on with the Gorgon and with the artists' wives/models. It took me a while to get through it.
On the other hand, I LOVED the second novella, "The Tale of the Two Swords" by Lynn Kurland. She hooked me from the beginning and brought her characters to life as though they were real, three-dimensional people. There was humor, adventure, romance. I will have to look up and see what else Kurland has written.
The third novella, "Fallen Angel" by Sharon Shinn, fits into her Samaria series. This story comes after Archangel and Angel-Seeker. I really enjoyed it, but I think someone who hadn't already read Archangel (and/or the rest of the series) might miss out on some of the nuances. It helps to know the back story about the Archangel Raphael's corruption, the battle to transfer power to the next archangel, Gabriel, and the cultures of the Manadaavi and angels (and Jansai, Edori, and even Semorran merchants).
The final novella, "An Elegy for Melusine" by Claire Delacroix, was my least favorite. It took me a long time to wade through, largely because I not only wasn't sure what the point was but also because I didn't really like the narrator much. I just found the story...odd and not quite believable (in the world of the story, that is, not because of the intersection of the realm of the fey)."
"I read only the Sharon Shinn story (so I'm not counting this in the number of books read), which was set on Samaria. I really enjoy being on Samaria and learning about some new characters. My only complaint was that the story got really good at the end, and then it ended! I wanted it to continue much longer to find out what happened to Eden."
