Some really nice stories that entertain and make you think. ( )

This was a sheer pleasure to read, a collection of short stories, both SF & fantasy, by a woman who normally writes long, detailed fantasy novels. I wish she'd write more. They fit into my busy schedule better. On top of that, she did the cover art. Maybe someday when I'm rich & famous I'll be able to afford to buy one of her paintings.

The SF stories were space operas featuring a couple of the same, excellent characters. I'm glad they were done as short stories interspersed with others. Each one grew the characters a bit more & the final one was wonderful.

A couple of the fantasy stories were in the same world, a very interesting take on elves. Most were completely off the reservation showing just how far Wurts' imagination can go. Very weird & wonderful worlds. I liked the last & title story the best, but they were all very good, most excellent.

I really need to make time to finish reading her War of Light & Shadow fantasy series. I think she's working on the last book for it right now. ( )

I was disappointed by this book, I guess I prefer her longer works. The first story, Wayfinder, was the best. Oh well, to each his own. ( )

This collection of short stories is a delightful read.It may seem a bit strange to mix fantasy and sci-fi in one book, but all the stories are strongly character-driven and this holds the book together as a satisfying whole. The first story, Wayfinder had me hooked and wanting to see how the story ended. A longer book is there waiting to be written. I loved the character driven sci-fi pieces ,one of which had 4 parts.I found I skipped ahead and read them as one continual story....Great stories, highly recommended. ( )
