Reviews

[Jason Waltz · Rating 4 out of 5]

Michael Burke's Ahanu rounds out the fun S&S tales in this anthology. Almost a full set of them fill this anthology with a great name and sweet cover art. A very long, strong streak of S&S stories gives this a solid 4 stars. Really enjoyed the majority of this.

A good mix of stories and protagonists. The worst of the stories was readable and enjoyable, the best downright excellent. And the spot illustrations by Dan Brereton are gorgeous.
