![]() Numerous young writers who would go on to great things, many of them women, were discovered or promoted very early in their career in the pages of S&S, including Emma Bull, Mercedes Lackey, Jennifer Roberson, Diana L. Unlike Carter and Offutt, who invited established authors to fill their pages, Bradley and her fellow editors opened their volumes up to submissions, and the results were pretty extraordinary. The series is critical to the history of the field for more than its longevity, however. Last year’s Marion Zimmer Bradley’s Sword and Sorceress, edited by Elisabeth Waters, was #31. The first one appeared from DAW Books in 1984, and there’s been a new volume every year since, with a single three-year gap between 2004-07. ![]() ![]() Lin Carter’s seminal Flashing Swords and Andy Offutt’s Swords Against Darkness are probably the most famous examples, but in terms of longevity and influence on the field I think they’re both eclipsed by Marion Zimmer Bradley’s Sword & Sorceress anthologies. Sword and Sorcery has a rich history of anthology series. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() The choice to narrate the battle from Leafa’s perspective allowed for a better description of the events, making the battle much more exciting and easier to follow from the reader’s perspective.Īnother aspect I enjoyed in this volume were a couple moments of self-reflection on Kirito’s part which really helped give him additional character depth. Kirito’s fight against the guardians of the World Tree was thrilling and was the best battle sequence this series has delivered so far. 4 manages to deliver a good amount of action, including a few very exciting battle scenes. The conclusion to the volume is also very strong, creating a good moment of emotional payoff for those who have been following the series so far. This also improved the pacing and the volume was able to maintain a strong sense of forward progression throughout. The political maneuverings between the various races of Alfheim Online are gone, removing one of the most uninteresting elements of the previous volume and keeping to plot more focused. Author Reki Kawahara strengthened the main narrative by keeping a greater focus on the main storyline in this volume, and this was a significant improvement over the previous volume. ![]() ![]() As questions about her new relationship overwhelm her, so do thoughts of Atlas Corrigan - her first love and a link to the past she left behind. “Even as Lily finds herself becoming the exception to his ‘no dating’ rule, she can’t help but wonder what made him that way in the first place.

But then she very kindly went to do a final check herself and, lo and behold, came back brandishing the very last one in the entire shop, storeroom included. The girl at the counter ran a quick search but, much to my dismay, came up with nothing, informing me that they would probably restock at some point near the end of April (April!). Surprised that one of the author’s most well-known and popular works was not on the shelf in a shop with such a extensive collection that there’s a section dedicated solely to Sci-Fi Masterworks series, I thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask if they had a copy in the back. ![]() ![]() Once I’d done so I realised that this was a book I simply had to get my hands on, so on the way to Pret I took a detour to a certain cult entertainment megastore in an attempt to nab a copy.

During his peak it was claimed that one-quarter of all the books read in England were penned by Wallace, and he remains one of the most filmed authors of all time. One of the most popular writers of the early 20th century, and certainly one of the most prolific, Edgar Wallace turned out an astonishing 130 novels (18 alone in 1926), 40 short story collections, 25 plays, some 15 nonfiction books, plus journalism, criticism, poetry, and columns, in a little over 30 years. ![]() “That’s okay,” the caller remarked, “I’ll wait.” A friend was said to have telephoned him one day, only to be told that Wallace was writing a new novel.
