Dangerous Women, Part I by Gardner Dozois, George R.R. Martin
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Truly awful. For a book that's meant to be a collection of short stories featuring empowered women, a lot of the stories are sexist.
R.R. Martins work is the what you would expect from an A Song of Ice and Fire novella, though may as well have been presented as a list of bullet points for its lack of structure.
The short story 'I know how to pick them' by Lawrence Block exemplifies everything wrong with this collection. Lawrence, you write like a dinosaur. Do us all a favour and don't waste any more good paper on your garbage.
Sanderson's 'Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell' is the only good work in this collection, but given the terrible quality of the other stories, it fails to make the book worth reading.
