Sherwood Smith said:
"I am working my way slowly through this anthology, mostly as I stand in lines. Short fiction is great for those tiny spurts of time.
So far, the first story has the best prose, but it's horror. I wasn't quite the audience for the second or...more"

Sherwood Smith said:
"One of the many casual mentions in Patrick Leigh Fermor's Between the Woods and the Water, it seems to be about Grimmelshausen, whose Simplicius Simplicissimus is terrific--harrowing, funny, fascinating, showing the peasant's-eye view of life in Germ...more"

“A wager?" I repeated.
"Yes," he said, and gave me a slow smile, bright with challenge. ...
"Stake?" I asked cautiously. He was still smiling, an odd sort of smile, hard to define.
"A kiss." My first reaction was outrage, but then I remembered that I was on my way to Court, and that had to be the kind of thing they did at Court. And if I win I don't have to collect. I hesitated only a moment longer, lured by the thought of open sky, and speed, and winning.
"Done," I said.”
― Sherwood Smith, Crown Duel
