Like many of the Mammoth anthologies this is a mix of good and bad stories; a few I skipped but there were some brilliantly written ones as well.
I really enjoyed:
The Game of Magical Death / Doug Hornig The Witch's Bicycle / Tim Pratt The Bones of the Erath / Ursula K. Le Guin In The Realm of Dragons /Esther M Friesner The Wizard of Ash and Rain / David Sandner The Last Witch / James Bibby ( )
I've put this book down for now... The tales are just not gripping me, unfortunately. To be fair, my mind is elsewhere, so I will give it the chance it deserves later. ( )
