review 1: I love the idea of this project -- stories, regardless of genre, brought together on a common theme. Unfortunately, I found the majority of the stories to be rather bland. Most were solid but not inspiring, though I outright skipped a few after the first page. But I kept going because there were a few that were quite amazing, and I kept hoping there would be more.The stories I found amazing were:* "Tough Times All Over" by Joe Abercrombie* "Roaring Twenties" by Carrie Vaughn* "Heavy Metal" by Cherie Priest* "A Cargo of Ivories" by Garth Nix
review 2: A fun collection of short stories in a wide range of writing styles and genres. The only thing that they all have in common is that each story is about or pertaining to rogues. I found several authors I had never... more known about that I will be reading more of. I think in most anthologies like this you are going to get a few really great stories and a few bad ones as well as a bunch of mediocre ones. I skipped 3 of the stories after the first few pages. They just weren't catching me. Maybe at a later date I will go back but I doubt it. I think the reasons I didn't like the ones I skipped were mostly due to writing style and genre. I would also say that if you are a fan of fantasy then this series is a great choice. Many of the best stories in this book are fantasy. less
