Robert Silverberg is a highly celebrated American science fiction author and editor known for his prolific output and literary range. Over a career spanning decades, he has won multiple Hugo and Nebula Awards and was named a Grand Master by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America in 2004. Inducted into the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame in 1999, Silverberg is recognized for both his immense productivity and his contributions to the genre's evolution.
Born in Brooklyn, he began writing in his teens and won his first Hugo Award in 1956 as the best new writer. Throughout the 1950s, he produced vast amounts of fiction, often under pseudonyms, and was known for writing up to a million words a year.

A great glimpse into the minds and universes of some of the most popular fantasy series: Discworld, Pern, A Song of Ice and Fire, Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn, and The Wheel of Time. I haven't read most of these series, but these teasers were quite tempting, and I must say I am now keen to look into the Wheel of Time books.
Overall, while not all to my taste, I enjoyed the 5 novellas in this collection and would recommend it to anyone interested in the fantasy genre.

Legends by Various authors is an anthology containing five novellas by five well-known authors, set in the worlds they are famous for creating.
The Cover: I like this cover, it represents one of the stories in the book written by Terry Pratchett and captures the humour perfectly. The cover does tell me I’m going to get fantasy inside, but it also says this book is for a younger audience and I don’t think it hits the mark here. Terry Pratchett’s story certainly is, but not all of them are in my opinion. The font works for the genre and there are big hitting names on the cover that are known for their fantasy.
The Good Stuff: For fans of the authors whose work is contained within the pages, this title will take you back into the worlds you love with a story you may not have read. There should be at least one story in here for every fantasy buff to enjoy. Personally, I really enjoyed the story by George R.R. Martin. Overall it is well edited and has some interesting characters. As I said before the authors are all well-known and are as follows:
Terry Pratchett
Anne McCaffrey
George R.R. Martin
Tad Williams
Robert Jordan
The Bad Stuff: I don’t know if it is just the author’s style or if the story by Robert Jordan was not edited that well. It’s as if words were missing here and there, but again, it could just be the style of writing. I was disappointed with two of the stories and ended up skipping to the next author. Out of the other three stories, I only really enjoyed one. I really wanted to enjoy Robert Jordan’s story, the world building was great, holding my interest until the end. I liked the characters too, but the story and the writing style didn’t grip me and have me excited to keep turning the pages.
Overall, this book was a bit of a let-down for me. I wanted so much to enjoy every story, but it just wasn’t to be, the writing wasn’t bad, the stories just didn’t draw me in. I’m only giving this one an average 3 out of 5 golden bookmarks.

Vijf korte verhalen van vijf grote fantasy schrijvers gebundeld door de editor Robert Silverberg. Ik was erg benieuwd naar de sferen die elke auteur neer zou zetten van de eerder gecreëerde werelden.
Verhaal 1: The Sea and Little Fishes by Terry Pratchett
Dit verhaal speelt zich af in Discworld en gaat over twee heksen, Granny Weatherwax en Nanny Ogg. De jury van de jaarlijkse Heksenwedstrijd vraagt of Granny Weatherwax, die elk jaar wint, deze keer niet mee wil doen.
Ik was erg benieuwd naar Discworld en ben zeker geïnteresseerd in de rest.
Verhaal 2: Runner of Pern by Anne McCaffrey
Een kijkje in het leven van een renner uit de wereld van Anne McCaffrey: de Drakenrijders van Pern. In een korte tijd leer je een van de - vermoed ik - families aan de zijlijn goed kennen. Ik vond dit erg leuk en vlot geschreven.
Verhaal 3: The Hedge Knight by George R. R. Martin
Dit verhaal was mijn favoriet. Ik begaf me meteen in de wereld van A Song of Ice and Fire, ook al heb ik die boeken (nog) niet gelezen.
Verhaal 4: The Burning Man by Tad Williams
Ik weet niet precies waarom, maar dit verhaal was voor mij het minst. Het was voor een short story iets te voorspelbaar geschreven, denk ik.
Verhaal 5: New Spring by Robert Jordan
Voor iedereen die The Wheel of Time niet gelezen heeft, denk ik dat dit een lastig verhaal is om doorheen te komen. Er worden veel namen genoemd en situaties die niet bekend zijn. Zelf ben ik in het tweede boek van The Wheel of Time bezig, waardoor ik dit verhaal wel kon waarderen. Het gaat over hoe twee karakters uit het hoofdverhaal elkaar hebben leren kennen.

Overall review - an enjoyable compilation of short stories whether you are familiar with the authors or not.
The Sea and Little Fishes - 4.5/5
I'm quite a fan of Terry Pratchett's work although I haven't read any of his books in a little while. I found this to be a lovely sojourn back into the Discworld and Pratchett's inimitable writing style. A very enjoyable short story and one that made me go on a small quest to find some more Pratchett books to add to my collection.
Runner of Pern - 3.5/5
This was my first foray into Anne McCaffrey's writing and I did enjoy this little story. It was a simple story but had characters I liked and moved along well even though by the time I came to the end of it I couldn't help but think nothing had really happened. The about face girlish plummet into love ending was a bit trite for my liking but didn't ruin my enjoyment of the story as a whole. It piqued my interest enough to find a few of her Pern novels to read.
The Hedge Knight - 4/5
Having read the first Song of Ice and Fire novel which I, in short, simply didn't enjoy in any way. I went into this short story with my back up expecting to dislike it and be forced to skim read it just to get through it. To my surprise I actually enjoyed it. I found the characters far more likeable than those in GoT and the story quite engaging. In fact apart from the typical fantasy delving into far too much detail of houses, families and flags, which I find ponderously boring but which at least in this short story was kept quite perfunctory, I really enjoyed this story. I have no desire whatsoever to read the rest of the GoT series but should I come across them I would be happy to read the rest of the Hedge Knight series based on this short story.
The Burning Man - 2/5
I have never read any of Tad Williams' books and this short story certainly hasn't inspired me to do so. It was okay I guess as I did finish reading it but it didn't grab me in any way and frankly just wasn't that memorable or compelling. I won't be looking for any of his other works soon.
New Spring - 1/5
Similarly I haven't read any of Robert Jordan's books and I couldn't even make it through this short story. Perhaps you need to have read more of his Wheel of Time series to appreciate this story but I found it lacking from the characters to the male vs female power premise and nothing about it kept my interest.

This got to be progressively harder going as it continued. Loved the Granny Weatherwax story. the Anne Mcaffrey was reasonably pacey and interesting. the George Martin was overly detailed and a bit clunky. the Tad Williams was weird and slow to come to a head. finally the Robert Jordan was frankly uninteresting and I struggled a lot with it as I did not care for the fate of the characters at all.
The only one I would definitely read again is the Terry Pratchett because he of course is a fantasy legend.

4.2 stars.
A nice collection of stories, I especially enjoyed the Wheel of Time and Discworld ones, not to mention the running story from the Pern series I wasn't familiar with. However the full anthology fell down a bit with The Burning Man (still not sure what that was about) and whilst Game of Thrones is always popular the extra long Dunc and Egg story threw off the balance considerably and delayed finishing the book.

A great mix of stories from some of the best fantasy writers around. A good way to introduce them, or to top up if you want even more!
April 18, 2021
Preferred this legends book to the other 1 I finished yesterday, my favourite out of all the stories was the Terry Pratchett 1 and that bumped up the rating to 4 stars.

Robert Silverberg (ed.), Legends, vol. 2 (Tor, 1998)
This is water in the desert for fans of fantasy series whose books have a tendency to have a long time between releases. Anne McCaffrey (Pern), George R. R. Martin (A Song of Ice and Fire), and Terry Goodkind (Sword of Truth) all contribute short novels to this volume in the Legends series, and all are well worth your time.
Goodkind's story, "Debt of Bones," leads off the trilogy, and deals with a time when Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander was much younger than he is in the Sword of Truth novels. Here, he's pitted against Panis Rahl, and must decide whether to put himself, and the fate of the Midlands, in danger in order to fulfill a debt of bones to the daughter of a deceased sorceress. One has come to expect strong storytelling and easy turning of pages from Goodkind, and he does not disappoint here. Martin's story, "The Hedge Knight," follows. Again taking place some time before the events in the Song of Ice and Fire books, "he Hedge Knight" follows the squire of a newly deceased mercenary, who has a desire to make his name in a tournament against some of the biggest names in the business (including a number of Targaryens, who at the time of this story have not yet been banished; in fact, they play a major part in the story, which should be a pleasant surprise to many Ice and Fire fans). Martin's work on this series is always a pleasure, and once again, the is no disappointment to be found here, though one wonders about the loose end to be found.
The biggest surprise of the bunch, to me, was McCaffrey's "Runner of Pern." I've always shied away from the Pern books, for no real reason. This story is a welcome change of pace from the two that precede it; rather than battles, jousting, and the rest, this is a quiet romantic coming-of-age tale that hits just the right spot, like a lemon ice after a boeuf bourguignon. It's convinced me to go back and try the Pern novels, as McCaffrey's style is simple and engaging. Like the others, she keeps the pages turning.
Definitely a worthwhile piece of work. I shouldn't have to sell those who are already enmeshed in the various series covered here, but others will find it a perfect sampling to see if the three titans covered here are to their tastes. I can almost guarantee they will be. ****

The sea and little fishes: 4/5. Short and enjoyable, told in typical Pratchett style. Don't need to have read any granny weatherwax novels to appreciate.
Runner of pern: 3/5. It was ok, but didn't make me want to go read more of her books.
The hedge night: 4/5. My favourite of the 5 stories. I havent actually read any George R. R. Martin before this but if this is anything to go by I need to move him up my to read list a bit. Theres references to families and people that I didn't really get as I haven't the series but didn't need to understand these to enjoy the story.
The burning man: 2.5/5. Didn't really like it, but can't put my finger on why, so maybe it just wasn't really my thing.
New spring: 2/5. I had no idea what was happening for a good portion of this. Perhaps someone who has read other wheel of time books would feel differently, but the references to countries and battles and customs got boring and I started skimming to finish this story quicker. Also, I think there was maybe too many characters for a short story, and they all had stupid names which I was never sure how to pronounce.
So, overall 3/5 stars. It's a shame the better stories are at the beginning as it just seamed to go downhill.

December 31, 2017This one's impossible to rate, due to the many different stories included. Some are great, some are ...not. The Pratchett story is (of course) awesome and hilarious. McCaffrey's story left me confused - this was one of the worst and most unimaginative stories I've ever read, and I kept expecting something, anything, even remotely interesting to happen, yet nothing ever did. I skipped The Hedge Knight as I'd read that one not too long ago, but of course that one is decent (I gave A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms 3 stars). Tad Williams' The Burning Man was poor and I'm definitely not reading any more of his stuff anytime soon. Jordan's New Spring included far too many characters and concepts for such a short story, but the second half of it was actually quite decent and I am now considering having a go at The Wheel of Time some time later on.

I got this book out of the library to read George R.R. Martin's story 'The Hedge Knight' about Dunk and Egg after I'd read another of his stories about them in his Warriors anthology.
It was also a really enjoyable story and has me itching to read his A Song of Ice and Fire series.

This book confirmed several things:
1. I love Granny Weatherwax.
2. The Hedgeknight really is as good as everyone made out.
3. I find most 'hard fantasy' very hard to get into to.
So the five stars are based on the stories I actually managed to finish, the Pratchett and the Martin! Maybe one day I'll read the stories *not* about Granny, Nanny, Dunk and Egg...

It was okay, I really enjoyed the Discworld story and the Pern story, but I'd already read the George R R Martin story and I was bored by the other 2.

Enjoyed all the stories in this, though some fallnsomewhat flat if you have no knowledge of the larger series they're tied to.

While the Pratchett and Martin stories are reliably great I struggled to get through the other stories, which I found, while not necessarily badly written, tended to drag.
