5.0

For the record, as a general rule I don't like anthologies; they tend to be a mixed bag and while stores are very good there's generally a good share of poor stories in the mix. This anthology however, I loved.

There is a new Elric story (a novella even), new work by Tanith Lee and even a short story by one of my new favorite authors Scott Lynch. While not every single story in the anthology would make my all time favoriates list, they were all of very high quality.

I'd highly recommend this collection.
