A review by polarcubby
Budayeen Nights by George Alec Effinger, Barbara Hambly

An interesting collection. I enjoyed the introductions and little glimpses at Effinger's life and thinking. The stories were so-so. One very long story, almost a third of the book was the intro from the second Marid novel. Two last stories I could not get through. I might come back to the last story at some point but I just could not bring myself to read. I think Weinraub story dulled me so much that I had to be done with the book.
I do wish we got book 4 of the Marid series. The chapter included in this book looked really promising. Sigh... sad to know the author passed so early in life, he should've had many more years of writing ahead of him.
