The strength of this collection makes itself felt and there are no weak links. It is impossible to do justice in a review to so many remarkable stories all of which can be recommended. (School Librarian )

5.0 out of 5 stars For Dragon Fans Everywhere 12 Jan 2010
By Book Gannet TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Hardcover
A sea dragon, a Roman dragon, ones that can fly, some that can't, fire-breathers, revolutionaries, good dragons, bad dragons, big and small, dragons that change history and the many different humans that come into contact with them, are just a hint of what's in the nineteen stories on offer here.

Written by some of the finest names in fantasy - and a few rising stars and newcomers - there's much to enjoy here. Particularly Naomi Novik's tale about a young Roman wastrel and the dragon he inadvertently raises, or Kage Baker's about the problems and rewards of removing wyrmin. Peter S. Beagle tells of the perils of a half-written tale - for characters and authors alike - while Tad Williams tells a bedtime story from the dragon's perspective. Fans of Tamora Pierce's `Immortals' series will enjoy something from Kitten the dragon, and Andy Duncan offers up an alternative 1930s Virginian mountains where magic and love roam in unusual ways.

Crossing genres from sci-fi to traditional fantasy, contemporary to alternative history, this anthology has something for every dragon fan, and a few surprises besides. Fantasy at its inventive best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superior storytelling 14 Oct 2010
By LadyLibrary
Format:Hardcover
These stories all centrally feature dragons, and yet they could hardly be more different. There's space here for the serious and the comic, sad endings and uplifting endings, and a host of fascinating portrayals of draconic nature and what happens when dragons and humans collide.

Highlights for me included Kage Baker's delightfully funny tale of the problems caused by dragon-pests - fans of her novel 'The Anvil of the World' will appreciate the chance to spend another half-hour with Smith at his seaside hotel - and Tad Williams' whimsical bedtime tale told by a mother dragon to her hatchlings. Another favourite was 'Humane Killer' by Diana Gabaldon and Samuel Sykes: a slightly longer, comic tale about the intersection of two unlikely partnerships.

There isn't a poor story in here, and there's room for several repeat readings. It's perfect entertainment for a busy week - if you don't have time to sink into a novel, this is a book that will amuse in manageable doses. I'd love to see another collection just like it.
