The Butcher story has completely faded from my memory, so I guess I didn't care much for it. 1 star Simon Green's story was very strange and unsettling. 3 stars Kat Richardson's story was great, I loved the day of the dead and the animal feel. 5 stars Thomas Sniegoski's story was pretty good, although not good enough to make me want to look up any of his other work. 3 stars Mean Streets • The Warrior, by Jim Butcher This story takes place after "Proven Guilty" as Michael Carpenter recovers from the wounds that inspire him to renounce holy-sword-wielding. Typical Dresden, but without the monsters. • The Difference a Day Makes, by Simon R. Green This is a nice story that makes me want to look into the protagonist a little deeper. He's not Harry Dresden, but he is powerful enough (and highly respected by the worst of the worst) to live in that part of the world that is for sure creepy/scary. • The Third Death of the Little Clay Dog, by Kat Richardson This is rather a cute story, with some pretty prosaic magic…but altogether convincing (real close to being believable) and entertaining. This is another story that inspires me to want to read the precursor story(s). • Noah's Orphans, by Thomas E. Sniegoski This is the one story that bothered me most; I just can't find it in me to accept the premise of one of the original warrior angels—created by GOD the Almighty to punish the renegade angels just after the Fall—who now wants to live as a human, rather than serving the Almighty in whatever way instructed. Would you want to give up your powers as an adult human to run around as a 2-year old? My understanding is that the difference between us and angels is much greater than the difference between a dog and us. OK, allowing for the basic concept, the particular plot is not so bad…some of the creatures that Noah couldn't fit in his arc have been found and Noah (several thousand years older now) is killed trying to protect them. The plot line is reasonable, it's just the premise that I can't buy. Altogether, I give the book 4 stars because of the good stories...and the promise they provide for the future. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
