4.0
There are stories I like more than others but all in all I like it.
Forever Bound by Joe Haldeman
This story is placed before the events of "Forever Peace" and is very spoilerish for it. I would recommend reading "Forever Peace" before reading this story.
In the story we learn how Julian Class was drafted and what happend in the first weeks/months after he's been jacked. I liked this story very much. We get more backstory on Julian and how the jacking works and so on.
The Eagel and the Rabbit by Steven Saylor
This story pushed so many buttons. It deals with trust, slavery, betrayal, identity and so many more things. I fell in love with Hanso and Lino (the main characters) and want to know what happens to them after they managed to escape.
And Ministers of Grace by Tad Williams
Well, I didn't like this story very much. It's written from the POV of an religious assassin. That's not something I want to read about in my free time. I found the world building, the sci-fi aspect interesting and the enhancements Kane has very interesting but the plot...
The King of Norway by Cecelia Holland
This story was okay. I'm not quite fond of Vikings and the characters too didn't catch me but the plot was okay and so on.
Defenders of the Frontier by Robert Silverberg
Oh, this story is food for thought! What if you defend a remote outpost for 20 or so years and it's been ages since you last heard from your superiors and the capital city? Do you stay and wait for orders that might never come? Or do you leave the post and try to get back home? Very interesting.
The Mystery Knight by George R. R. Martin
It's an interesting story but I think I would need to know one or more books by Martin in order to truly understand this story. There are so many reference to battles and knights and bloodlines. The characters are also named with their names in the third or more generation and all are referenced during the story and so on - I couldn't keep up. But, I really liked Dunk and Egg. Especially Egg.
