I’m not even sure where I first picked up one of MZB’s Sword and Sorceress books. All I know is I was hooked with the first one. It took me several years to collect all 21, but I loved each one. Some years are better than other, and there are a few stories that I have never forgotten, but over all, you can’t go wrong reading this entire set!
Sequel stories and good new ones..made this a lovely read.
