Troll's-Eye View: A Book of Villainous Tales by Ellen Datlow
3.0
3/5 stars.
I have to admit that I was expecting a bit more from this book.
Don't get me wrong, it was still a good book. It was just missing something.
There were some stories that I really enjoyed, such as: A Delicate Architecture, Molly, ’Skin, Troll, and Wizard's Apprentice.
I would recommend the book just for some of these stories. (I enjoyed some of the others, but these were the ones that really stuck out to me.)
I didn't really enjoy any of the poems which was a disappointment since I was expecting more from Neil Gaiman.
Overall, this book is like almost all books that contain short stories by various authors. You have your solid, great stories, and then you have the uninteresting and sometimes disappointing stories. I would recommend the book, but I would also say that I wouldn't blame you if you skipped over certain stories and only read some.
