Wrede [pronounced as "Reedy"] is one of my favorite authors, and IMO one of the best writers of English-language fantasy fiction in her generation. Equally at home with long and short fiction, she showcases her talent for the latter in this collection of 10 stories, four of them published here for the...

This is a reread for me. Originally, I read The Rifter as 10 different installations. It was more than a roller coaster of emotions for me - it was more like being chained to a wooden rack that gets picked up and ravaged by a tornado.

Having read Pigs Don't Fly, I was ready to move on to the sequel. Overall, I think it's better than the first, as Summer's journeys take her west after her dragon-man lover Jasper. Once again, Summer collects stray companions, and once again, her quest story is a lot of little encounters strung together,...
