bookstuff's review against another edition
5.0
I was really interested in this concept because I am a bit tired of all the darker themed YA fantasy that is ubiquitous now. Not that I object to it, it just can weigh on me if I overdose on it. I miss the kind of fantasy I grew up on - heroes striving to do goof versus really really evil bad villains.
As soon as I got my review copy I opened it to Sherwood Smith's book. Sherwood is one of my favorite fantasy writers, and I'd never read this one yet. Lhind the Thief is a YA mystery adventure that is the beginning of it's own series. It was originally published in 2013, and if you purchase it separately it would cost $4.99. But in this collection it just costs around 16 cents (I did the math).
I love that on the Kindle (and Fire) this is so organized! The table of contents has each book by author, and each book expands to it's own table of contents. And when you are reading one of the books, the status bar on the bottom acts just like it would in a regular book - if you are halfway through the book, it shows half, even though the book is at the end of the collection. Very nice.
Anyway, the rest of my review is on my blog www.bookhorde.org.
If you are looking for the TL;DR version: Incredible deal, wonderful collection, great gift for teen & pre-teen readers too and you won't have to worry about content.
