Firebirds: An Anthology of Original Fantasy and Science Fiction

Firebird, 2003

One of the best anthologies I've ever read
This is a collection of some of the finest authors in the biz, and I think every single one of them would be proud of their work here. I loved this book, and although I do admit that it is a little misleading calling it an anthology of fantasy and sci fi when there's pretty much no sci fi in it, I forgive it that small glitch because it's just so good. If you're an intelligent reader, or ...

Unbelievable! If you celebrate seasons, you need this book!
This book is amazing. The reviewer above who was disappointed in an anthology obviously never looked at the contents to see what she was buying. This is one of the best pieces of fantasy I have ever read. Each author puts their own spin on a basic premise designed by Mercedes Lackey. Some of the authors I recognized, some I didn't. A brief introduction of each author would have been helpful, ...

A treat for myth lovers
This book won the 2003 World Fantasy Award, and it's easy to see why. There are wonderful stories here by many fine writers, including Charles de Lint, Emma Bull, Midori Snyder, Delia Sherman, Patricia McKillip, Tanith Lee, Jeffrey Ford, and many others, a real Who's Who of the fantasy field. I'm not sure why the reviewers below were surprised that the stories are aimed at teenagers -- this book ...

Nina Kiriki Hoffman

Avon Books (Mm), 1993

incredible imagination
this is not hoffman's best written book, but that is a minor drawback, since her second best is still better than many other author's. if you think of the exposition being a form of writerly shorthand, so to speak, it isn't such an issue. the wonderful thing about this book is the world building. the families, their history, their talents are completely thought-out, made to seem completely ...

The Silent Strength of Stones (A Chapel Hollow Novel)

Nina Kiriki Hoffman

Eos, 1995

An exciting new discovery!
Nina Kiriki Hoffman is a new discovery for me, and one long overdue. The Silent Strength of Stones is an excellent introduction to her writing, which -- like contemporaries Charles de Lint, Emma Bull, Terri Windling, etc. -- crafts a highly developed fantasy world within the framework of a thoroughly modern, very real society. Her characters are finely drawn and wholly believable in this setting, ...

Star Trek, 1998

What got me into Star Trek Books
This book was the very first Star Trek book I had ever read. Being a big fan of the Voyager series and having to travel a lot for my company I decided to buy this book to read on the plane. This book was absolutely fantastic. I like sci-fi that also adds some philosophical discussion or ideas to the story, and that is what this did. The idea of multiple dimensions and Janeway over a com-line ...

Puffin, 2007

A Good Collection
I read the first collection, The Firebird, and feel in love all over again with Megan W. Turner and for this book, in addition to my already favorite authors, it introduced me to more of authors whose styles I like very much. First of all is Ellen Klages, with 'In The House of the Seven Librarians'. I love her prose and all the words make a nice song in my head. It was almost like a poetry. ...

Not for Children!!!
I was a little dissapointed in the horror content. But the stories were interesting and very different. Not at all gory/splatterpunkish. If your looking for dark stories with different endings, these would be them

One Interesting Spin on Lycanthropy After Another
I must say that I picked this book up initially just because I was bored, but it delivered much more then I thought it would. From the lighthearted "Stag Party" to the highly intriguing and thought-provoking "The Way Things Should Be", this book had more twists on the were-mythology then any compliation I've seen. Brilliant. Simply Brilliant.

Jaime Goes To College
Jaime Locke was a minor character in The Thread That Binds The Bones, but Spirits is more like a direct sequel to the short story 'Exact Change,' which appeared in the 2 Hoffman anthologies Common Threads and Courting Disasters and also in Weird Tales #299. In that story Jaime starts to question the morality she's being taught by her magic teacher and starts to try to figure out her own destiny ...

Tachyon Publications, 2006

A new direction from a truly unique writer
A cover blurb suggests that Nina Kiriki Hoffman is "this generation's Ray Bradbury." That seems almost entirely wrong, but it is hard to think who would be a more valid comparison. Peter S Beagle, perhaps. Hoffman is more familiar from her modern fantasies regarding the interlocking lives of people touched by magic of one form or another. But in this short novel, she is doing something very ...

A Wonderful Collection of Short Stories
This collection of short stories is absolutely wonderful. It includes Sci/Fi stories about Hell, Trolls, and the absolute worst wish ever imagined. I've read this book a number of times and it never fails to make me burst into laughter.
