Oh, yes, that's one of the little gems I found in that wonderful collection 🙂 I read it a year ago and have been meaning to do a write-up for a longish bit now. Maybe summer? I quite liked nearly every story. His later work is more complex, I'd say, not as focused as earlier. But still wonderful.

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
