    Yes!!! A great review by someone that doesn't usually LIKE the sort of stories contained in the anthology.

    That, to me, says that it's transcending boundaries and is going to appeal to all sorts of readers.

    Good job, to Jason and all of the authors involved.

    Never meddle in the affairs of a wizard unless you are soggy and hard to light!

    Looks like she appreciated the book! Nicely done.

    The review itself was a little long on summary and short on... review. I would have appreciated hearing more thoughts on the stories themselves.

    But all and all, it's very positive.

    Yes, and The Fix has some very good, detail oriented reviewers on staff.

    would be nice if people would post on The Fix discussion forums about the reviews they give us.

    I needed a few positive words today, and the review certainly provided them.
