The first subdivision of the Dangerous Women anthology edited by George R.R. Martin and Gardner Dozois is a mix bag of both story quality and the interpretation of the phrase ‘dangerous women’. In seven stories across genres around the central theme of women who are dangerous, a reader is treated t...
Unlike some of the other anthologies I've read, this one is so varied in interpretation of the theme and contributors that I couldn't rate the whole thing as one. Yes, the interpretation of what it means to be a dangerous woman did greatly contribute to my rating. There was one that I couldn't even ...
So far this is what I've finished in this anthology.“Raisa Stepanova” by Carrie VaughnI was so very surprised by how vastly different this short story was from Vaughn's Kitty Norville series. This story exhibits how much she has grown as an author. I loved this story, and how the plot worked itself ...
Ian is still the greatest best friend ever and Jamie is still the king of men. (Er shall I say, Juan & Diego. Lol. Those are their Spanish names.)With wounds still fresh, Diego (Jamie) joins Juan (Ian) and a group of mercenaries to complete a couple of tasks, but get caught up with a prostitute at a...
A title like "Dangerous Women" invites cliché, and this anthology features a fair number of them - particularly the femmes fatales. It could be that the femme fatale just doesn't work for me as a character. Always seen through jaded male eyes, she perhaps has a longer history than is sometimes re...

I've seen a number of negative reviews for this particular collection, and I wonder if that's just a knee-jerk reaction to the fact that Martin's putting out a book othe...
I didn't read all of the stories in this volume, mostly because I ran out of time and had to return it to the library. What I did read was enjoyable, though. My favorites were the Jim Butcher, Diana Gabaldon and George RR Martin stories, since they're part of larger series that I'm reading and re...
A bit too uneven an anthology to recommend wholeheartedly. I probably liked Brandon Sanderson's story the most; Abercrombie, Abbott, Lindholm, and (to an extent) Cadigan were also quite palatable. A few others (Martin, Grossman, Spector, Butcher) are likely to fall flat unless you're already familia...
