Liavek re-visited, Jun 12 2000
By Samantha A. Mcmahon "Schrodinger's Cat" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Double Feature (Hardcover)
If you liked the Liavek series, you'll like this book. If you are a fan on Ms. Bull's other books such as War for the Oaks, or Finder, you might like this book, but you might not. I enjoyed the short story format that this book was published in, because I can pick it up and put it down again. I liked the mixed bag of stories, some were very good, some were mediocre, but there is enough variey to have something for everyone. I am a fan of the 'Borderland/ Finder' and 'Elsewhere' books by Ms. Bull & Mr. Shetterly, and so was a little disappointed that most of the stories were not in that genre, but in spite of my disappointment I really did get caught up in the individual short stories and thououghly enjoyed them. Both authors have a gift with words that can paint their pictures in your imagination, and leave you wondering about the characters long after you've finished their particular story.

3.5 stars, Dec 8 2008
By D. K. Stokes - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Double Feature (Paperback)
Fantasy anthology, plus a couple of essays.I really like Emma Bull, and I like fantasy, but in general, fantasy short stories don't do the trick. Several of the stories were from the Liavek world, but they were all about the same thing.
I tried to figure out what it is about fantasy short stories that makes them so hard to read. I think it's that the author's trying to create an entire world and explain all the rules of magic within a short story when they'd normally have an entire book to do it in.
At least Bull & Shetterly didn't use unpronounceable names, but names were a problem, too--there were just too many characters in some of these stories.
I really liked the essays, though.

This review is from: Double Feature (Paperback)
Great book from two great writers. Anyone who is a fan of theirs will enjoy this little "blast from the past". Buy it and enjoy, if you can find one...
