Told by an Idiot. Indeed. 2.5

The Dragonslayer of Merebarton - (5) - Damn. I can't recall ever having read another story of a village dealing with a dragon attack, but I can't imagine a better one has ever been written.

Safe House - (5) - A wizard (not a great one) is sent to a country where wizards are executed to try and extract a natural talent that's been detected there. Very good.

Rules - Another deal with the devil story. I wasn't sold at the beginning, but it turned out quite good.

Message in a Bottle - shortest one so far I think. more like one of Parker's typical shorts than the last.

Heaven Thunders The Truth - damn, that was different. very different culture than anything else I've seen from Parker. :)

I Met a Man Who Wasn't There, 5 :)

Skipping Downfall of the Gods, The Last Witness, and The Devil You Know, all good, but which I have as standalones and have already read.

First story: The Things We Do For Love - 4 stars-ish. A thief and a witch. Good voice, not really a plot, more character study/relationship type thing. Not sure what portion of Parker's work contains magic, but it's a minority of what I've read.
