I've just gotten to reading the Best of Glen Cook. I was reluctant to reengage after being disappointed with Working God's Mischief, and feeling like I've been hanging from a cliff since 2013 wondering what has to Garrett.
But I'm enjoying the stories, not the least because I think his older writing is his best. The little vignettes before each story are insightful, like Glen thinks The Dragon Never Sleeps is his best work (I'd agree).
Did anyone notice that the in the 3rd story, In the Wind, which is related to the Starfisher's Trilogy, that there are windwhales and mantas, just like on the Plain of Fear in the Black Company?
Best,
Jerry Kalayjian
