5.0 out of 5 stars
An Excellent Fantasy choice,
By everly@hotmail.com (Chicago, Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Elf Fantastic (Fantasy Anthology) (Paperback)
Many of the stories in Elf Fantastic are incredibly well written. Martin H. Greenberg has done a wonderful job on this one.One story that I must give particular praise to is "Jerlayne" by Lynn Abbey. This is by far the best tale I have ever read. The characters are vivid and the plot is all-encompasing. Lynn Abbey is truly a fabulous writer. "Jerlayne" is completely beautiful, suspenseful and captivating. Personal thanks to Abbey for so moving me with her writing :) Some of my other favorites in the anthology were -- "The dancing ring", "The girl who was taken into the hill" and "I sing the dark riders" I cannot say enough good things about this book. I guarantee that anyone fascinated by the Sidhe, as I am, will fall in love with Elf Fantastic. I can't stress enough the degree of quality in this anthology. I would strongly recommend it to anyone interested in reading quality fantasy. (This one is a must have!)

Yet another excellent book in the series of anthologies,
By A Customer
This review is from: Elf Fantastic (Fantasy Anthology) (Paperback)
I agree with both the editors and some readers that the whole idea of short, stumpy Santa's elves do not do justice to the Tuatha de Danaan. Most of the stories in this book capture the beauty, grace, and yes, even a bit of the haughtiness of these people. Truly a good read, although some of the stories can get a bit overcomplicated (like the elves themselves, I suppose)

Tons of elves, but no Legolas,
By
This review is from: Elf Fantastic (Fantasy Anthology) (Paperback)
My two friends and I bought copies of this book, but I was the only one to finish it. They are both Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter fans. Both were expecting Legolas or maybe Dobby, but neither are to be found here. What is found is this anthology is all manners of elves from all kinds of mythology. From the tiny fairies of England, to the leprechauns of Ireland, to the thin, elegant, trickster elves of Norse mythology- this anthology has it all. Out of the 19 stories contained in this novel, some of the more famous authors are Andre Norton, Tanya Huff, Jody Lynn Nye, and Michelle West. Out of all the stories, the best by far is All That Glitters by C.J. Henderson, a dark fantasy story guaranteed to chill you to your marrow. So I recommend this book for fans of Daw and Martin Greenberg anthologies, but if youre looking for a Lord of the Rings anthology, try After the King, ISBN: 0765302071.
