This was a nice collection of short stories. I liked the stories at the beginning much more than those at the end, and could have honestly done without "Huntress" or "Testing", which had different feels than the rest of the stories and were, in my opinion, much weaker.

The contains eleven stories in total, of which 7 take place in the same world as her Tortall books - though oddly enough, none of them are located in Tortall proper. All of the Tortall stories were a delight, and I loved seeing and revisting some favorite characters again, if only briefly.

Fans of Pierce will love this collection. Those who have not yet discovered her would do well to pick it up. (

Epigraph

To my editors for these stories - Bruce Coville, Jack Dann, Gardner Dozois, David Fickling, Douglas Hill, R. Schuyler Hooke, Mallory Loehr, Ron McCutchan, Sharyn November, Terry Ofner, M. Jerry Weiss, and Helen S. Weiss - with my deepest thanks for these chances to expand and my apologies for the many bad words I said while trying to do so.
