I'm not the best audience for this book, but my faculty book club chose this one to read and discuss this semester. The best stories were "A Woman's Work" by Tanya Huff and "Art Therapy" by Nina Kiriki Hoffman. I hated pretty much all the remaining stories with the exception of one that was enough better than earlier installments that I tolerated it a little better. In our final wrap-up discussion, all of us pretty much agreed that those two stories were the best. I'm just thankful this one is complete and that we can move onto something different next semester.

A mediocre-at-best collection of stories about Evil Overlords. Tanya Huff and Nina Kiriki Hoffman (no surprise there) wrote the only two stories worth reading. The stories aren't even offensively or impressively bad--just sort of boring and banal. ( )

The stories ranged from excellent and unexpected to somewhat tedious, but almost all were enjoyable and had some nice twists. ( )

Short stories on the theme of the evil overlord. A quick, fun read. ( )

Evil overlord,
