Summary: Solid entry in this ongoing series
Comment: I disagree with some of the previous reviews. The overall quality of the stories is okay. I think the real problem is that there are no really outstanding stories in this volume. The stories I liked best were by Charles Saplak, Lisa Deason and Deborah J. Ross. Unfortunately, most of the other stories are simply not memorable enough. I hope that the next volume will be as good as some of the early volumes. By the way, Diana L. Paxson will step in as editor.

Summary: Disappointing Entry in Series
Comment: I think this is the worst entry in the Sword and Sorceress series. Yes, there are a few writers that have written for the series before--Dorthy Heydt and Diana Paxton--and even their stories don't measure up to previous efforts. The overall volume was generally uninspired and suffers from poor editing. The them was finding your true self or true path, but this theme didn't come through consistently in all the stories. Hopefully, the next book will be much better.

Summary: The last one? Not yet
Comment: As usual, MZB and her able staff have collected a wide range of stories. Many old favorites are back, along with some rarely seen writers. I have to say that I was not as happy overall with the quality of the stories as I have been in previous collections. Also, their proofreading/editing department needs to shape up a bit, I have never seen so many errors in one printing. The usual short funny story for the last entry is not present, being replaced by the homily given at MZB's funeral. The good news is that, despite published story to the contrary, this is NOT the last volume planned. I hope that the quality improves for the very last one.
