Book Reviews of Legends II: New Short Novels by the Masters of Modern Fantasy: Volume I
Book Review: Not Free SF Reader
Summary: 3 Stars
The second Legends anthology isn't as good as the first, and doesn't have the one outstanding piece like Martin's Hedge Knight in the first book, but there is still a handful of good stories.
Another look at Orlando Gardiner from Otherworld was appreciated, and Gabaldon and Haydon were new - one ok, one bad, it seems.
