Product Description
From Library Journal
Following two successful volumes of short stories set in Norton's Witch World, this collection of four short novels by popular sf and fantasy authors provides more extended forays into the world of many "gates." Included are Elizabeth Boyer's "The Stillborn Heritage," C.J. Cherryh's "Stormbirds," Meredith Ann Pierce's "Rampion," and Judith Tarr's "Falcon Law." These stories should appeal most strongly to series fans. For fantasy collections.-- JC

Confusing,
By Michelle "betwixt" (Montvale, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Four from the Witch World (Mass Market Paperback)
While readers who are familiar with the universe that these stories are set in might be thrilled with this book, I found it very hard to get into it. This is one of the first books that I read by Norton and had bought it mostly because one of my all time favorite author, Cherryh, was a contributing author. Unfortunately, I found the stories dry and not very engaging. As works of fantasy, they are average...I think that if I was more familiar with witch world, I would have enjoyed it more.

Riveting...a must for WW fans!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Four from the Witch World (Mass Market Paperback)
Boyer, Cherryh, Pierce and Tarr capture WW well in these stories set in Ms. Norton's beloved realm. Very satisfying for us who have been there from the beginning and a must for her fans, fans of the WW and genre followers alike. Worth looking for. Worth adding to your library!

"Four from Witchworld" & Amazon service,
By Patricia L. Curotto - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Four from the Witch World (Mass Market Paperback)
once owned this book and loaned it to a friend who moved away (with my book!!) glad to have it back--I have many of Andre Norton's books (going back to first paperback edition of "X-Factor"--it cost #.79!!). I am also a great fan of C.J. Cherryh--I think I have almost all of her works except the upcoming releases I ordered from you. All in all very satisfied with Amazon and this book. Thank you.
