Status Updates From Legends II

Riftwar story is disappointing. Symphony of Ages a bit clunkily written, but powerful concept. Generally good.

Diana Gabaldon's contribution feels very much written for the female gaze, I'm afraid ; the first of these stories that I've been uncomfortable with.

So far I've been favourably impressed by the universes I didn't know and a little confused about the timeline of the Robin Hobb one: is this the original colonisation of the Rain Wilds, preceding "The Liveship Traders"?
