BloodRider Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Huh? Are you talking about The She-Wolves of Winterfell? That is going to be a Dunk & Egg story. Oh it is? I hadn't realized that. Now I am doubly excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodRider Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 This was as bad as TPatQ... I wouldn't call this or The Princess and the Queen bad. But they are on par with each other. And it not my fave of his works - by a long shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jslay427 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I'm not too big on the maesters history. First of all, with so many different accounts which is to be believed and secondly a lot of it feels like fact dumping. I like being able to read what's going on inside a characters head.

unJon Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Just so people know there's a thread in ASOIAF Gen discussing the GRRM story in Rogues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowborn Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I'm really looking forward to the Joe Abercrombie, Scott Lynch and Daniel Abraham's stories, but I'll have to wait until next month to get the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlingzen Bill Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 My favorite story was by Connie Willis. My biggest disappointment was the lack of a Robert Block story, sadly he has retired from writing according to George. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceChampion Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 My favorite story was by Connie Willis. My biggest disappointment was the lack of a Robert Block story, sadly he has retired from writing according to George. You mean he died 20 years ago.

Maltaran Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Connie Willis was fun, and I enjoyed the Swanwick and Hughes stories too. The Garth Nix one was my least favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deedles Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Working my way through it. Was surprised by how much I liked the Flynn. Skipped the Lansdale as I've not enjoyed it in other anthologies. Was pleased to see David Ball back writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexMachina Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Flynn's What do you do? has been my favourite in the anthology so far, and found Tawny Petticoats enjoyable too. Tough Times All Over was entertaining too. I'm currently up to Roaring Twenties. Least favourite so far was definitely Bent Twig by Lansdale. I didn't actually finish it, was not enjoying.it in the slightest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unJon Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 The Flynn story made me of purchase her three-book omnibus ebook. Good deal on Amazon right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdDrake Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Rothfuss's The Lightning Tree was absolutely delightful and charming. I also found the Vance-ian story by Matthew Hughes pretty entertaining. Looking forward to going through the rest of these over the next few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNDM Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I'm reading it when I got some time. My opinion, so far: “Tough Times All Over” by Joe Abercrombie.Well written and sometimes funny, but lack something, in my opinion. A point, probably. This story could go on and on for pages like that.“What Do You Do?” by Gillian FlynnStart like a social tale, but is actually some kind of classical ghost story with a good ending twist. Liked it. Im not alone on that, as I can see above. “The Inn of the Seven Blessings” by Matt HughesMy favorite so far. Funny & a real story with a very good ending. And a good universe, and characters. "Bent Twig” by Joe R. LansdaleI never really liked the detective/noir story, and this one did not changed my mind. Really not my dope, I guess. Sorry, Joe. “Tawny Petticoats” by Michael SwanwickSame, not my dope, I did not enter in this universe. And the plot was too complicated for nothing. “Provenance” by David W. Ball.I did not see the point of that one at all. Still 14 to go. I never read Neverwhere but I want to do it one day, can I read “How the Marquis Got His Coat Back” anyway, or should I wait and read them in publishing order?

Jo498 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 If you like other books of Gaiman (or generally an original mix of traditional and urban fantasy) you should read "Neverwhere" anyway. (There is also a TV Show, actually it started this way, but I think the book is better.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
