Review to come.

“In Carnation” by Nancy Springer. 3, eeeehhhh…I needed a LITTLE more to get into it, stars.

“Critical Cats” by Susan Shwartz.

4, the story should come with a warning to read with tissues, stars.

“Of Age and Wisdom” by Roger C. Schlobin. Meh. Didn’t do a thing for me. 1.5, the dragon thing was kind of cool but not a lot was explained, stars.

“The Keep-Shape Spell” by Mary H. Schaub. 5 stars. Scary how people with destruction on their minds can take something innocent and use it for evil. This is definitely one of the better stories in this volume.

“The Queen’s Cat’s Tale” by Elizabeth Ann Scarborough. I have a confession to make. I don’t like Arthurian legend. As such, this story did nothing for me. 2, not poorly written but not my bag, stars.

“Hob’s Pot” by Andre Norton. Meh. Skimmed through it. It just didn’t grab me. 2, I expected and hoped for more, stars.

I am just not in the mood to read this one right now. Every story is irking me. It’s like the characters need to do stupid things in order to move the plot along. I’ll pick this back up when I’m in a better frame of mind.

“Clara’s Cat” by Elizabeth Moon. Ugh. I hate being in the head of a nasty character. And this one was pretty nasty. Skimmed to the obvious end.

WARNING: elder abuse and murder, from a “family” member who only wanted the $$.

2 stars, because the head is realistic. You just don’t want to stay there.

“Quest of Souls” by Ann Miller and Karen Rigley. Ugh, the boy is TSTL. DNF and zero stars.
