Fox, "The End is the Beginning is the End": started and remained strong until it ended weakly. An examination of will, always a good thing in Sword and Sorcery or Heroic Fantasy or Dark Fantasy or Gothic Fantasy. A good and entertaining thing to examine powerfully...and that's where it broke down. What began strongly, what was powerful, ended in a whimper and a let down.

Langan, "The Fourth Intruder": fun, long story about a few hours in a bar. Clever title, interesting threat, well-written dialogue and stalling plot. A different style of storytelling that actually seemed less different after all the other quite different ones to precede it.
And it ends on page 194, so I don't know who put this in with a total book count of 190.

Rabuzzi, "Discovering the Caliper'd Heart": I have no idea what this is. Some attempt at mimicked verse.

Miller, "Censor, Poet, Paper, Tree": unexpected end didn't help an oddly told third act. Trying to be clever doesn't always work.

Fultz, "Nobody Kills A Wizard": fun tale, Fultz always knows how to spin a yarn.

Morrissey, "Shadows under Assoil": interesting, intriguing even, and I'd know more of both world and characters, but this is just a slice of something more, a prologue to an unoffered tale.

Vaughan, "Rendezvous Aboard the Ship of Death": badass tale I loved! The type of story that immediately made me go read the author's bio and find if he has other work. Loved loved loved the two staring characters, enthralled by the world and setting, greatly enjoyed the wonder of this tale. I sure hope Ko-Mon and Ilhar have more stories.

Olfert, "A Grass Rope": a coherent story! Featuring Jon's fascinating mammoth people in a survival tale. Powerful and clever and ugly and true.

Atreya, "Galatine": at least we have a story and one that isn't nonsensical and I actually grasp the most though not the all of it.
