This is a great anthology overall. The Obernewtyn prequel is great, and makes me very much want to pick up Obernewtyn again, and it is one of many wonderful stories.

This anthology has been selected for the current year's White Ravens Awards of internationally significant books. The range of stories makes it viable for use within a classroom as a set text, but probably students would read it in their own time anyway.
