Quelques très jolies nouvelles (Falling, Siege of Cranes) et d'autres...

hit or miss, as are most collections. if you like stories where ordinary objects and creatures have fantastical adventures, you'll like this one.

Hay historias muy breves aquí, pero con premisas divertidas y alocadas. Presentan escenarios extraños, mucho caos y hay algunas bastante imaginativas.

Algunas son bastante olvidables, pero en general me dejo una buena impresión y varias risas.

Some stories might not be as accessible as others. A couple were on the verge of turning me off a few times, but that's only because I almost lost the patience needed to wrap my head around them. I stuck with it and was rewarded, every time.

total mixed bag. some amazing stuff - the other cities collection, for example. and some totally banal and bland stories.

I really some of these, mostly the really bizarro ones, but some were duds...especially the last one.

Read some of it. Didn't dig it. Disappointed. It's all online from Small Beer Press, if anyone else wants to read it. http://smallbeerpress.com/books/2008/08/05/the-ant-king-and-other-stories-hc/

Call it 4.5 stars. This story collection contains a lot of fun, a few duds, and one magnificent bastard of a yarn "A Siege of Cranes" that is itself worth the modest purchase price.

Definitely one of the finest fantasists I've come across
