Firebirds Rising: An Anthology of Original Science Fiction and Fantasy
AuthorSharyn November

This is going to be a bit of a cheat review because I’ve acknowledged to myself that the only reason I checked out this anthology was to read the Joss and Mavkel story The Real Thing by Alison Goodman.

Leroni of Darkover
AuthorMarion Zimmer Bradley
ISBN0886774942
Let's start this with a quibble: there is obviously a dire need for a dictionary/grammar of Darkovan words. I was always under the impression that 'leroni' was a female plural. The male plural would be "laranzu'in" (where the apostrophe represents a glottal stop); the neutral plural (meaning males...
