A mixed lot of fantastical murder-by-magic tales ranging from0 spine-chilling to mind-numbing. I hunted it down for entries by Laura Anne Gilman and Mercedes Lackey - both of which turned out to be rather lack-luster. But both Will Graham's "Mixed Marriages can be Murder" and Laura Resnick's "Doppelgangster" took up the slack nicely, and I also enjoyed Esther Friesner's "Au Purr" - the nice thing about an anthology stuffed so full of different pieces; if one doesn't suit there's another just a page-turn away. ( ) It is very rare that I am able to say that I enjoyed every story in an anthology, but that is the case for this volume. Many of the stories have a humorous quality, not so much laugh out loud as being pastiches of various mundane mystery and other genres. There is a great diversity in the types of stories. The characterizations and story-telling are uniformly good to outstanding. The works tend to be set in somewhat feudal cultures, as fantasy usually is, but others are quite modern or otherwise set in familiar times and places (if you credit the existence of magic.) Worth reading both for fantasy aficionados and mystery fans. This is one of the few anthologies that I can say was worth the price of admission. There are 20 short stories and nearly everyone of them held up for me. Some excellent authors contributed to this; Mercedes Lackey, Susan Krinard, Jennifer Roberson, Laura Resnick, Roberts Gellis, Laura Ann Gilman to name a few. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
