The Book of Magic by Gardner Dozois

The Return of the Pig by K.J. Parker
4* - I enjoyed this story. A fund series of misadventures that end up revealed to be of an unseen purpose by our narrator wizard.

Community Services by Megan Lindholm
5* - Sad and tragic. This one hit me right in the gut, probably because I'm a dad watching my daughter grow up and leaving some toys behind.

Flint and Mirror by John Crowley
3* - Promising start to the story but it did satisfy me with the resolution.

The Friends of Masquelayne the Incomparable, by Matthew Hughes
5* - This one was so much fun to read. The POV of Masquelayne is quite villainous.

The Biography of a Bouncing Boy Terror: Chapter II: Jumping Jack in Love, by Ysabeau S. Wilce
3* - This story was in the frame of a story being told to children and it was full of colorful words and poetic imagery. I didn't follow what was going on and it wasn't for me. Someone else may enjoy it though.
