5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful, uplifting collection, December 23, 2005

By	marymuse "reader and published author" (Iowa , USA) - See all my reviews

As a pagan, I picked up Maiden, Matron, and Crone to see how these thirteen authors dealt with the manifestations of the triple goddess. I was not dissapointed. I love Martin Greenberg's anthologies, and absolutely love several of the authors in this collection including Tanya Huff, Jody Lyn Nye, Rosemary Edgehill, and Fiona Patton. So, I had high expectations for this anthology.

I am pleased to announce that this book passed with flying colors. As a fantasy author, I loved the varied settings, from original fantasy worlds to modern day urban fantasy, and the myriad of incarnations the goddess took in these stories. Each story felt real and whole, a complete world in and of itself.

As a pagan woman who believes in the goddess, I found these stories to be uplifting, spiritual reading. I found my faith renewed, my belief in the many faces of the goddess reaffirmed, and am promptly recommending this anthology to all of my pagan friends.

Whether you love good, female-centric fantasy, or seek to read more about the goddess, or simply want entertaining reading, this anthology will not dissapoint.
