This was another novella from the Hugo voter packet that I read back in July. A simple story about what the title exactly says. Of course you get a bit more than that but it leaves you wondering about the world it is set in and if we will ever see anything else in it. No flashy magic, no terrible battles but there are monsters and some deaths but in the end a nice quiet read. ( )

Not much of excitement for a double issue. Kij Johnson's "The Man Who Bridged the Mist" is the best story, nothing else really stands out, although most of the stories are decent. ( )
