To Hold the Bridge by Garth Nix

4.0

This book contains a novella featuring the Old Kingdom & 19 unrelated short stories. I absolutely loved the novella, but honestly I'm going to love any and all Old Kingdom I can get. Unlike Nix's last novella this story features all new characters and a new area of the Kingdom. The stories are sorted by type (Coming-of-age, Combat & struggle, Lighthearted, and Science Fiction) and were a mostly positive mixed bag. Hellboy & Sherlock Holmes' magically inclined cousin both make appearances. There is also a companion story to Shade's Children in the science fiction portion.
