"some grand short stories, though as a collection it's a little uneven. Elizabeth Bear is an inventive and engaging writer and I sometimes wonder what the hell she's thinking.

"About as good as you'd think. I do really enjoy this series, but get the impression that there's less editing for each successive installment. And not because it doesn't need editing.

Jack said:
"Credibly follows the self-contained story of Stolen and provides a nice story arc for the future. Connwaer, the sneakiest and lock-pickiest of magician's apprentices, goes all super-spy in this outing. Fun, hard to put down.

read and liked
Marie Brian's
review of The Last Olympian (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 5):
"A good end to the series. What I like most about the Percy books is the uncontested fact that the gods will forever be busy knocking up mortals. Go Camp Half-Blood! " | |||
