Winter’s King: I’ve read The Left Hand of Darkness; this was a nice return to the world of Winter. 8/10

The Rule of Names: I saw it coming, though that did not make it uninteresting. 8/10

The Word of Unbinding: Interesting magic. I wonder what the foreshadowing is. 8,5/10

Darkness Box: Love the mysticism. Is there some kind of time travel involved? Or replaying of the same day over and over? 8/10

The Masters: I’m a sucker for science in science fiction. Craftsmen getting executed for practicing mathematics in medieval times. Loyalty to the math and to each other. 8,5/10

April in Paris: Cool story, I like the summoning mechanic and the characters’ liking for 15th century France, though it does not feel like there is more to it than this. 7/10
