The Book of Magic: A Collection of Stories by Scott Lynch, George R.R. Martin

4.0

The trouble with rating collections, particularly when the stories come from multiple authors, is that there will always be some stories you get along with better than others. There was nothing in the book I'd rate lower than 3 stars, and there were definitely some 5-star contributions. I hav loved everything of Scott Lynches that I've read so far, so it's no surprise to me that his story was amazing. It was original and felt epic in a short space. More surprising were the contributions of Elizabeth Bear, who is a new author to me, but someone whose work I'll pick up again, and Garth Nix, who did not impress me with the last novel of his I read, but whose entry in this collection was really enjoyable.
