Absolutely wonderful; I liked this even better than the prior installment of Stories of the Raksura. I love how these little collections include both stories that are absolutely integral to the trajectory of the broader series -- here the novella The Dark Earth Below is absolutely not to be missed -- and 'extras' -- here including one prequel story, one story with an entirely different cast of characters set in the same universe, and a funny story about the Raksura approach to trading goods. The short stories are really good, but the novellas are fantastic. Love this series, wholeheartedly recommend it.
