Ted Chiang has done it again with an amazing collection of stories. Story collections are almost always mixed, with a few great ones and a few that drag. This is the rare exception: they're all good. Highly recommended.

There was quite a bit of this book I enjoyed, but I found the ending very disappointing. A whole lot of violence and gore, with no subtlety in considering whether the violence was right or necessary. Also, I was expecting all along that the students had things wrong, and the adults really understood much more of the situation than they did, so I was disappointed when the plot had much fewer surprises than I was expecting.

Mike Carey knows how to write a story. If you haven't read The Girl With All The Gifts, definitely start there, but this one is still a five star tale. Engaging characters, a unique supernatural concept, and likable characters who have serious and believable psychological problems but are easy to root for. Just when you think it can't get any worse for them, it does, and then gets worse again, but Carey still pulls it out at the end into a satisfying conclusion.

Some people swear by this series, but I had trouble enjoying it. There were lots of great elements, but it's so crazy epic I had trouble keeping track of all of the characters, races, and plots flying around. Half the time, it felt like I didn't know what was going on, who was on which side, how many sides there were, or what side was likely to be more powerful.

I really enjoyed this one. On the surface, it's a classic fantasy romp, with an inventive cast of characters, each of which has a special skill of some kind, on a quest to slay a dragon. Even just at this level, the book is great fun, and really well told, with a lot of good action and clever turns. The magical system of the world, however, provides philosophical depth to an otherwise light-hearted romp. Members of different religions and sects see the world differently, and can thus perform different magic. Often their beliefs conflict with each other, however, leading to situations where the one who believes the strongest, or can convince others, gets to determine what is real. It's a world where any belief really can be true, suggesting that its reality consists entirely of a shared delusion, which those of strong mind can alter. Some thought-provoking background that made this fun adventure story richer.
