Grr. I'm trying to get this review posted. Cooperate, Smashwords!

I was surprised by the great collection of stories in this anthology. All Magic themed, that was the only sameness in the bunch. These authors have wonderfully distinct styles, and I read the book from cover to cover. I had a sense the writers just enjoyed working on their stories.

I can't believe this anthology doesn't have more reviews. What's wrong with people? Okay, I'll blame the busy holiday season.

I read this from cover to cover and I can't quite explain the variety and breadth of the tales. The styles are all over the place, which I liked. I didn't get bored or bogged down. The pacing of all the stories is spot on.

I love finding great books and this is certainly a good collection of works.

This book is a delightful collection of stories, all related to the topic of magic. The range of author voices was fun and I really enjoyed the Diversity of styles and tales. A great read for a cold November weekend. Two thumbs up!

Got this book for Halloween and enjoyed the compilation. For the price you get a great mix of magical stories--some dark, some light and full of hope. Especially fun to read while answering the door and handing out candy!
