"The Heart of the Hill" • Diana L. Paxson and Marion Zimmer Bradley ...wasn't that good; it was rather plotless and lacked the kind of drive MZB's works usually have in their characters and events. Plus, not very much happened, and the plot that existed was very simple.
"The Fourth Concealment of the Island of Britain" • Katharine Kerr ...I couldn't get through all of this one.
"Prince of Exiles" • Rosemary Edghill ...was quite confusing, but I loved the narrator's accusing tone, and they also see...more

This book of short stories is a lot of fun to read.
There are many threads woven together to make the King Arthur legend. Each story takes some of them and weaves them to add to the richness of the tale.
Since there are various authors, there are various points of view.

Great book new myths created from the old. There is even a story about Morgaine ( from MZB Mists of Avalon). It takes place in she is still in training, her relationship with raven and a new trainee. I really enjoyed the book and I hope others will too.
I only read the story by Diana Gabaldon in this book of 15 short stories. Hers is called The Castellan. This is proof she CAN write a short story. LOL. Only 26 pages. I did like it. She can write magical dragon stories too.
Short story compilations. *sigh* Some were pretty good others were horrible. At least it was entertaining. Would make an excellent airplane book.
Such a lovely anthology of stories! I loved almost all of them! The authors, for the most part, did really well, and Roberson chose well in how she put the collection together.
This is the first time I've read a collection of short stories. I liked it!

Very short ones so far. Good authors included, so I'm excited about finishing...
This review is only for Diana Gabaldon's story (The Castellan). I really enjoyed this story. It was interesting to see what she can do in a different genre. I think it is really cool that she wrote this story with her son, Sam--he has since been published on his own under the pen name Samuel Sykes.
Includes stories by Marion Zimmer Bradley and Diana Gabaldon, among other writers. Enjoyable, particularly for medieval/fantasy/King Arthur buffs.
