mousegoddess's review against another edition
3.0
some of the stories seemed more like half thoughts. The really good ones made up for it though.
Okay, maybe that's too short. i really enjoy Mercedes lackey, and I always have. I've known snobs to turn up their noses and sneer, but since those Scheherazade's would have been dead in the first hour I don't take them all that seriously. Lackey is a good storyteller and creates engaging worlds and characters. which is why she has a huge fan base. which is why the mediocre stories were such a let down. Some started out strong and just kind of...ended. Some were ambitious and didn't deliver. but thankfully some were such a cool window into the sheer possibility of the elemental masters world.

Thoroughly enjoyed reading every story, which is unusual for an anthology.
