4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting and Pleasing, February 24, 2005

By	Jennifer Bullard (Phila, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I must admit that I was completely drawn in to The Sworn Sword, the first story by George R. R. Martin. I could not seem to put the book down, I was mesmerized. As I continued to read on and focus on the next few stories, I found myself missing the first, but, that was soon to fade away upon reading Threshold by Elizabeth Haydon. That work was also beautiful and seemingly flawless. This book in general, every story, runs your mind around these authors vivid imaginations and turn your world upside down for the moment! Great read, highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great collection of short novels., March 8, 2007

By	D. Brown (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I got this collection of stories just for George R. R. Martin's 'The Sworn Sword,' but after reading all of the stories I am now interested in a few new authors. This is a solid collection and I recommend it to any fans of the fantasy genre.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terry Brooks fans-Get this book!, July 3, 2008

By	Jaime Vendera "Author of Raise Your Voice and... (Ohio) - See all my reviews

I bought Legends II for the short story by Terry Brooks. I started reading his books at 11 years old, starting with Elfstones of Shannara and have been hooked every since. I thought it was great that he decided to revisit some of the characters from his first trilogy. I often wondered what happened to Brin and especially Jair. I was intrigued with the wishsong, (probably because I am a singer and I break glass with my voice.) Well now I know what happened to Brin and Jair:) You will too when you buy Legends II.
