Finally done! I've never read a short story compilation before. This book was given to me by a redditor and he gave me his personal copy because he couldn't find it in stores. So I felt obligated to read it. And I'm glad I did. I didn't like all of the stories but some were really good. I think it gave me a sampling of various fantasy/scifi writers that I can check out!

This is an excellent book of short stories. One of the best fantasy anthologies of the decade, in my humble opinion. With the exception of maybe one or two stories which wound up as mere exercise in idea, most of these are wildly imaginative and extremely well written. Most especially Golden City Far by Gene Wolfe, which if you are a Wolfe fan in an instant must read.
