Sarah Monette's story is really good. I stayed up late reading this. :> I can't put her down. If you haven't read Sharon Shinn, this isn't a bad introduction. Read their novellas -- very well worth your time!

Claire's is jarring. Somewhat stilted, but not awful, and possibly written for the exit line. Not too bad. It isn't like the very first novella, however...

Lynn's is truly awful. In fact, hers reads like "Isn't this how (yawn) stupid High Fantasy normally works out?" And the answer is No. High Fantasy can be done well, but not by her. I'm sorry that the editors didn't get someone better.

My advice is to get this from the library. They've paid for the book. It goes into their records how much it's requested.
