3.0 out of 5 stars Sci fi and fantasy stories about strong women, September 4, 2004

This review is from: Amazons II (Mass Market Paperback)

This anthology is the second of two (the first being Amazons!) collections of science fiction and fantasy stories about tough women. Put together in the early 1980's, when strong female characters were less common than they are today, it was an important collection at the time.

For a Daughter, by F.M. Busby
The Battle Crow's Daughter, by Gillian Fitzgerald
Southern Lights, by Tanith Lee
Zroya's Trizub, by Gordon Derevanchuk
The Robber Girl, by Phyllis Ann Karr

5.0 out of 5 stars Marvelous Anthology!, February 13, 2007

This review is from: Amazons II (Mass Market Paperback)

For a Daughter was my favorite even though it does not end on a total bright note. The Ivory Comb was funny! In the Lost Lands is a werewolf story of a sort. I enjoyed Lee's work as always. You will find some authors you will recognize from S&S and the Chicks series. You may find some characters you recognize from other anthologies.

For a Daughter, Jessica Salmonson
The Battle of Crow's Daughter, Gillian Fitzgerald
Southern Lights, Tanith Lee
Zroya's Trizub, Gordon Derevanchuk
The Robber Girl, Phyliss Karr
Lady of the Forest End, Gael Baudino
The Ivory Comb, Eleanor Arnson
The Borders of Sabazel, Lillian Carl
Who Courts a Reluctant Maden, Ardath Mayhar
The Soul Slayer, Lee Killough
Nightwork, Jo Clayton
In The Lost Lands, George Martin


If you liked Marion Zimmer Bradley's Sword & Sorceress series, you'll enjoy this book too. Great book about strong women and what they do.

1.0 out of 5 stars Borrrrring .... save your $4 ...., May 19, 2008

By 

Ellis Hazard (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Amazons II (Mass Market Paperback)

Borrrring ... .This author publishes her own books for her own entertainment, but unfortunately its no so entertaining for the reader.

There is little imagination in her original works -- and she has admitted to copying the works of better writers and adpting them with her own settings/twists/names/etc.

Over-priced at $4 ...
