The ninth Thieves’ World anthology may appear quiet after the violent action in Soul of the City, but I found it a really enjoyable addition to the series. There are eight stories in this collection, which introduce some new characters and say farewell to others, making it more varied and perhaps uneven than its predecessors, but as I say I found it enjoyable developing and rounding out earlier stories.
There is also an afterword from C J Cherryh partially describing how the stories in an anthology are written. ( )
