3.0 out of 5 stars
Not Free SF Reader,
By Blue Tyson "- Research Finished" (Legion clubhouse) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Summoned to Destiny (Realms of Wonder) (Paperback)
A minor-league fantasy anthology, if you like. The class of this book is Michelle West's longish novella 'The Colours of Augustine', the rest is pretty average, barring Kevin MacLean's final dream guardian tale.
There's nothing to indicate that this was specifically supposed to be a kid's book, but it is possible I suppose, from the simple content. Summoned To Destiny : Tangled Pages - M. T. O'Shaughnessy Summoned To Destiny : Stormsong - Ed Greenwood Summoned To Destiny : Riverbend - Ruth Stuart Summoned To Destiny : The Colors of Augustine - Michelle West Summoned To Destiny : White Shadow - Marie Brennan Summoned To Destiny : Offering of Trust - Jana Paniccia Summoned To Destiny : A Prayer of Salt and Sand - Karina Sumner-Smith Summoned To Destiny : When Dragons Dream - Kevin G. Maclean You are a Magi, dumbarse. 2.5 out of 5 Gaurant with you then. "Know this: none of us eat the flesh of novices or anyone else. Even with sauce." 3 out of 5 Some bards have a gift. Not this one. 2 out of 5 True painting time. 4 out of 5 Contradiction choice. 3 out of 5 If this redback was on your toilet seat it would be much worse than your chooks turning into emus, being a dragon and all. 3.5 out of 5 Not quite drowned. 2.5 out of 5 Eleanor, no Stealer of Souls. 3.5 out of 5 2.5 out of 5
