Elsbeth T. (Etoulania) reviewed Firebirds Soaring: An Anthology of Original Speculative Fiction on + 3 more book reviews
Usually there's at least one SERIOUS dud in every anthology, but not so with this one. I borrowed it from my university library, and each and every story has been varying degrees of awesome. I have to say that "Singing on a Star" is my favorite, though. Just the right amount of fantasy and creepiness to keep me turning the pages. Although I also felt that "Egg Magic" was fabulous.
