I am shocked at the amount of people that only read a few of the stories. These are all excellent, and I actually found G.R.R.Ms one a little lacking, just because it was confusing with all the names. Read them all, better yet, listen to…

I rated this book based only on the GRR Martin novella, The Rogue Prince.
It was a good novella but short! Lots of dragons and a really fun read! It was written from a historical standpoint less of a narrative. It was great and…

This review only covers "The Lightning Tree" by Patrick Rothfuss. I'm sure the other stories are varying degrees of brilliant, but Pat's work is what interests me at the moment.
"The Lightning Tree" is a character exploration of Bast,…
