4.0

A collection of stories with a lot of famous names. Favourites includes 'Her Father's Sword' by Robin Hobb and 'The Best Man Wins' by K J Parker. Others were more disappointing, such as 'The Hidden Girl' which followed a quite typical story with a mediocre story line, as well as 'The Smoke of Glory is Gold' which started really well, but didn't have an end which payed off.
