review 1: Definitely my least favorite of her books. The first story was the only one I'd encountered before in another collection - and it was my least favorite of that collection. I've read that the author wonders why her sci fi is consistently much less popular than her fantasy. I can't put my finger on what it is, but I feel the same way, apparently. The beautiful writing was just as beautiful. The characters were not so different. But I didn't enjoy it the way I usually do. That's understating it: I didn't enjoy it much at all, whereas normally I love every paragraph. ??? I'm puzzled too.
review 2: I really like most of her novels, but most of these stories just did not hold my interest. The first and last stories are the best, and they made me not dislike the whol... moree collection. Since I have read all of her novels I thought I should check out some of her short story collections. I cannot decide if I just don't like short stories very much or if it was just the subject matter of these stories that made it sort of ho-hum. I'll try one of her other collections sometime to see if I like those stories better. less
