I had a really hard time finishing this book. I couldn't get into a lot of the stories.
Delightful collection of stories. Enjoyed each one . . .
Every story a tiny gem. Easy, quick read.
All in all it feels like a better collection of stories then last time. The quality of the book itself it still nice, though I caught a few typos.Morsel for the Plague Queen had a really interesting premise, and I liked the characters, and didn't feel like it followed through. It left me wanting.Daughter of Heaven had a really, really modern sound that didn't feel like it fit with the rest of the anthology. The tone, story, and especially the dialogue, reminded me of fanfiction, though with bett...
This thirteenth issue of Marion Zimmer Bradley’s anthology Sword and Sorceress was edited by Elisabeth Waters. It is the first one I’ve read. Judging by this one, I’ve missed out on some great stories. Until I started blogging and met so many fantasy/magical arts writers, I rarely read books or stories in this genre. Marian Allen, one of the authors included in this anthology, generously sent me a copy of Marion Zimmer Bradley’s Sword and Sorceress XXIII.One thing I liked was that Elisabeth Wate...
Once upon a time, when I was a little girl, in the dark days pre-Buffy, it was hard to find a female action hero. And yes, little girls need them, and teens, and even young women.

The back cover of this 23rd volume boasts that in the years the anthology has existed, it's included such authors as "Mercedes Lackey... Jennifer Roberson... C.J. Cherryh, Charles de Lint, Emma Bu...
This is a pretty standard entry in this series, and since I've enjoyed this series enough to still be reading it at entry 23, that says something, I suppose. For those of you who have followed the series all along, or even who have simply read one or more of the previous entries, all I need say is that this book holds up well to its predecessors. For those who are new to the series, this is a collection of short stories in the heroic fantasy genre in which each story centers on a female characte...
My favorite stories in this volume were: 'The Vessel' by Gerry Leen (which prompted me to buy the ebook, 'Life Without Crows,' by the same author); 'The Fairest of Them All' by Melissa Mead (I'm hoping to track down another of her works soon), and 'Scam Artistry' by Mercedes Lackey and Elisabeth Waters.
Not as good as XXII, but still some good stories in it.
