Summary: One of the best fantasy collections ever!
Comment: This is my all time favorite fantasy short story collection. It includes fantasy of all shapes and colors and has a surprisingly high density of really good stories from both newbies and old hands.
I'd recommend this book to anyone. I buy copies for my friends.

Summary: Must Have Been a Bad Year
Comment: Most of the stories in this edition of "Year's Best Fantasy Stories" are not terrible. Unfortunately, none of them are destined to be classics, either. By and large, the stories are readable but not memorable. Perhaps the sole exception is "Wrong Dreaming" by Kain Massin, which is an Australian tale of aboriginal magic that is very evocative and moving. Sarah Singleton's "Ebb Tide" is also moving, although its story of mermaid love has been done many times before. The contributions of the heavyweights, George R.R. Martin and Terry Goodkind, are excerpted or related to their best-selling series, and so are almost cheating. Read this one if you've not much else to read, but do not expect to be impressed.
Rating: 5
Summary: If You Like a Good Story...
Comment: I bought this first "inaugural" volume of short fantasy stories on a whim. Some of the longer stories (George R.R. Martin & the Terry Goodkind stories I have already read, but read them again!). This collection doesn't limit itself to "sword & sorcery" stories. There really is something for everyone here.
If you are a reader, who truly enjoys something imaginative,intelligent, & entertaining, you DESERVE this book. I think you will find it's many twists, turns, and writing styles irresistible. Take a chance on this one. I truly think you will find yourself unable to put it down for long!
This is one of the best short story collections I have ever read... Go on... pick up a copy!
