It's a sad setting. Sarah is a fine old woman, and I felt depressed reading about her world fading away. I gave the story a second title in my head: Loss. She lost her friend, her security..

Maybe I am just associating it with my own sad memories, but I think it is worth reading.

I haven't read the other short stories from that anthology, I don't know yet if I'd suggest to get the book.]]>

It is a compilation of "Stories, Poems and Unicorn Lore" that I just had to buy for both my daughter and myself.......okay, more for myself! Wink

As some of you may know, one of the contributors is none other than our very own Megan Lindholm, with her contribution being 'The Unicorn in the Maze'.

It's an enjoyable little short story that allowed me to not only introduce ML/RH to my youngest but it also gave me an opportunity to glimpse still more RotE parallels. Ouch Oh, Farseer, come on! Hey, it's true! P

I don't get it. It's not that these new covers aren't good, but compared to the John Howe covers they're just so bland. Besides, why can't they release the books in one volume, as they were originally written? Apparently it was split because of length issues back in the eighties, but with the fat books on the shelves these days, I think it's no longer a problem. These books are both rather thin.]]> here.
