5.0 out of 5 stars Just Buy It!, August 26, 1997

By A Customer

I've got every single Sword and Sorceress anthology printed. I never have to think about IF I'm going to buy one because it's a given.

These anthologies are so much fun because it's possible to read an entire story in one sitting. It's great if you're short on time. Some of the stories I particularly enjoyed in S&S XIV are: The Hand of A Lady, The Stone-Weaver's Tale, White Elephants, and Traveler's Aide. The last few stories in these anthologies are always interesting. MZB likes to end things well.

The other great part of this series is the chance to read the introductions by Marion Zimmer Bradley. She's so entertaining and (sometimes) crotchety. She shares a lot about what it's like to try to make a living as a writer.

And the last thing I like about the series is that it has introduced me to most of the authors I read: Mercedes Lackey, Jennifer Roberson, Charles De Lint, Diana Paxson, Lisa Waters - and of course MZB's other books.

So buy any of the S&S books you see! You'll find a lot of them in second hand bookstores (or maybe Amazon?

5.0 out of 5 stars Her Best Yet, November 10, 1997

By A Customer

This is a book for any one who enjoys a good time or a punny ending. The bios that Marion writes are witty and charming. The series is for both men and women and can be enjoyed by all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Anthology, July 24, 1997

By A Customer

I'm not quite done reading this book, but I can tell you now that it is very good. It's well worth the money. It is about brave women who are either sorceress or sword-weilder. You really should read this book! I know you will like it
