A review by kaiysea
Dangerous Women by Gardner Dozois, George R.R. Martin

4.0

Several of the stories felt like they put out a call to authors for stories about dangerous women, without caring about if the women played a part in the story at all. Not all of the stories are like that. And I did like most of the stories, even the ones were the women were objects/faint memories/barely present. My favorite were Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell (Brandon Sanderson), The Hands That Are Not There (Melinda Snodgrass), Some Desperado (Joe Abercrombie), Neighbors (Megan Lindholm), The Girl in the Mirror (Lev Grossman), Virgins (Diana Gabaldon), Hell Hath no Fury (Sherilynn Kenyon), and A Second Arabesque, Very Slowly (Nancy Kress). The one that really made me think, "What the **** is this doing in this collection?" was I Know How to Pick 'Em (Lawrence Block).
