4.0 out of 5 stars Tales from a Magical World, July 20, 2007

This review is from: Elementals Water (Paperback)

I just finished reading this compilation of stories and I LOVED IT.

They were all great short stories that stood alone well, tales of magick and adventure.

The very best part was the last story which is set in Robin McKinley's world of Damar, familiar from her books The Hero and The Crown and The Blue Sword.

On the bookjacket, it was said that there would be more books written in this series. I can't wait!
