Masters of Fantasy

Average Rating: 3.58 stars

Best Bets: 'Child of Prophecy' by Janny Wurts (4.5 stars); 'Shadamehr and the Old Wive's Tale' by Weis and Perrin (4.0 stars); and, 'Serenade' by Alan Dean Foster (3.5 stars).

The most confusing story of the bunch for me was 'Afterlife of St. Vidicom of Cathode', and perhaps it's a failing of mine for never reading a novel in Christopher Stasheff's Warlock universe.

See my comments attached to my status updates (below) for slightly more information, thoughts and reactions to individual stories.

A masterful fantasy collection of short stories in various established universes by well-known authors of the genre. I definitely recommend it to round out your reading repertoire for these authors. ( )

I bought this book for a story by Janny Wurts and found a number of other great stories by other authors some of which I know and others I didn't. All of the stories in this book are worth a read, especially if you're looking to try something new I have added a few new authors to my list of books to read ( )
