A review by priam_agrivar
The Book of Swords by Robin Hobb, George R.R. Martin
4.0
I came to this book, as most people likely did, looking forward to the new Westeros history by George R.R. Martin, but was also delighted to see the book would include tales from Daniel Abraham and Scott Lynch among others. Both of their works were some of my favorites in the collection.
Some other favorites:
The Best Man Wins - Parker - Predictable outcome, but just a well-written, enjoyable read.
The Sword of Destiny - Hughes - Both interesting world building and the most amusing to read tale in the book.
The Triumph of Virtue - Williams - Good blend of intrigue and action and a main character I want to read more about.
The Mocking Tower - Abraham - An interesting world - leaves me wondering if we will see more of it from him.
Overall a very strong collection of short stories without any weak links and a few leads on authors to further explore their work!
