Firebirds Rising: An Anthology of Original Science Fiction and Fantasy by Sharyn November

2.0

I picked this up at the library because it had short stories by both [a:Kelly Link|24902|Kelly Link|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1219070642p2/24902.jpg] and [a:Diana Wynne Jones|4260|Diana Wynne Jones|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1193516584p2/4260.jpg]. Unfortunately the rest of the stories were pretty hit or miss, with more miss than hit. My favorite two, besides the Kelly Link (which I'd already read; WRITE MORE, PLS, KELLY), were Quill by Carol Emshwiller (really intriguing storytelling that flirts with first person plural) and Kara Dalkey's Hives, which is like Veronica Mars meets futuristic Mean Girls.
