bookshelves: fantasy, short-stories, stephen-king, orson-scott-card
Recommended for: Fantasy fans
Read from July 12 to 13, 2010 — I own a copy, read count: Once, partially

The stories I read from this collection are:

'The Hedge Night', by George R.R. Martin

What a phenomenal story. I'm glad I was introduced to Dunk and Egg in the Warriors anthology, even if it meant reading these characters' stories out of order.

'Grinning Man', by Orson Scott Card

An interesting story set in a unique alternative America. I was particularly fond of the "knack" magic system. This story makes me want to read other Alvin Maker tales, despite my reservations that the character is based on The Book of Mormon's Joseph Smith.

'The Wood Boy', by Raymond Feist

A tight short story set in the Midkemia universe. Feist is not my favorite fantasy author by far, but I really enjoyed this story told from the point-of-view of a servant boy in an enemy-occupied keep.

Dan Schwent Funny, the only story I read in this one was The Little Sisters of Elluria.


Eric Yeah, I'm not a huge Dark Tower fan (I consider The Stand to be King's masterpiece), but I'll probably get around to reading that and the other stories in the collection eventually.
