Liavek re-visited,
By Samantha A. Mcmahon "Schrodinger's Cat" (Louisville, KY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Double Feature (Hardcover)
If you liked the Liavek series, you'll like this book. If you are a fan on Ms. Bull's other books such as War for the Oaks, or Finder, you might like this book, but you might not. I enjoyed the short story format that this book was published in, because I can pick it up and put it down again. I liked the mixed bag of stories, some were very good, some were mediocre, but there is enough variey to have something for everyone. I am a fan of the 'Borderland/ Finder' and 'Elsewhere' books by Ms. Bull & Mr. Shetterly, and so was a little disappointed that most of the stories were not in that genre, but in spite of my disappointment I really did get caught up in the individual short stories and thououghly enjoyed them. Both authors have a gift with words that can paint their pictures in your imagination, and leave you wondering about the characters long after you've finished their particular story.

3.5 stars,
This review is from: Double Feature (Paperback)
Fantasy anthology, plus a couple of essays.
I really like Emma Bull, and I like fantasy, but in general, fantasy short stories don't do the trick. Several of the stories were from the Liavek world, but they were all about the same thing. I tried to figure out what it is about fantasy short stories that makes them so hard to read. I think it's that the author's trying to create an entire world and explain all the rules of magic within a short story when they'd normally have an entire book to do it in. At least Bull & Shetterly didn't use unpronounceable names, but names were a problem, too--there were just too many characters in some of these stories. I really liked the essays, though.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Emma Bull, Will Shetterly, "Double Feature",
By Chaska (Coastal waterways of Georgia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Double Feature (Paperback)
Great book from two great writers. Anyone who is a fan of theirs will enjoy this little "blast from the past". Buy it and enjoy, if you can find one...
