Sci fi and fantasy stories about strong women,
By
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.
Contents 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 Lady of the Forest End, by Gael Baudino The Ivory Comb, by Eleanor Arnason The Borders of Sabazel, by Lillian Stewart Carl Who Courts a Reluctant Maiden, by Ardath Mayhar The Soul Slayer, by Lee Killough Nightwork, by Jo Clayton In the Lost Lands, by George R. R. Martin

Marvelous Anthology!,
By
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.

Great book about strong women and what they do.

Borrrrring .... save your $4 ....,
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 ... |
