Three authors present novellas with a moon theme. At least two of them tie into their current book series.

Mercedes Lackey brings a story set in the fairy tale world of her Hundred Kingdoms - a world of feudalism and magic. This story does not tie directly to one of her books, but is set in the same world. If you like Lackey's writing, you will enjoy this story about a princess returned home as a spy for the King against her harsh father. The description of the keep makes you feel like you are there and the characters and engaging.

Tanith Lee tells the story of a warrior woman, Clirando, who is struggling with guilt over a former friend's death and who is sent on a quest wherein she finds peace and love. I am not a big Lee fan, and can'[t say if this ties to any series she has previously written. I liked this story the least of all.

C.E. Murphy's story is directly linked to her Urban Shaman series. It tells more about Jo Walker's mother, and fits between the first and second book. It sent me straight away looking for Urban Shaman. A fast moving and well written tale.
