papidoc's review against another edition
3.0
I enjoyed the Hearne novella, another of his stories from the point of view of the Druid's dog. The other two stories, thought, were just weird. Not my style at all, and very different in tone and writing style from The Buzz Kill. Seemingly the only thing the three stories had in common was that bees played a prominent role, but IMHO that's really not enough to tie together three novellas into a single volume. However, YMMV.

I loved The Buzz Kill, and Grist of Bees was okay. I started the third story and abandoned it. I might come back to it later if I ever decide to read the series it belongs to.

Not sure whether I will read the other stories but the Iron Druid/Oberon story is a quick mystery with Oberon making friends with the locals for his favorite druid.
I probably will read the Delilah Devon but not the Chuck Wendig. Not that his stories aren't good but he is a little too dark for me.

Another collection of short stories by Hearne, Dawson and Wendig - their previous one was about cheese, this one is about honey and bees. I mostly got this for the Iron Druid story (by Hearne), which is yet another of Oberon's Meaty Mysteries - and this was a great tale set in Tasmania, mostly because it's Oberon the Irish Wolfhound as the narrator. The other two stories were fine, although not really my sort of thing and I expect I may have enjoyed them more if I was more familiar with the series they came from - that being said, the stories didn't really entice me to find out more about those series either.

This is a book of 3 short stories....I only like one. Just could not get into each of them.

The only story I really enjoyed was the second one by Lila Bowen. The others were light entertainment at best for me, personally.
