Customer Reviews

i heard differently...
the book was okay and all, but i heard that ms. waters was living in san francisco under the name nancy reyes. at least that's what it says when you do a "who is" search on her.

she's quite an urban legend.
Pleasant, fresh, light-weight fantasy; romantic elements
_Changing Fate_ is an enjoyable fantasy adventure. Elisabeth Waters is not overly ambitious in her world-building, but she doesn't recycle: nary an elf or a unicorn in sight. The main characters are intelligent without being improbably bright. Lack of purple prose and sentimental meanderings make this book more palatable than many other contemporary romantic fantasies. The hero, a young woman hiding her shape-shifting ability, is forced to abandon her ancestral home and undergoes a number of adventures. Most conflicts are solved with misdirection or flight: there is only one short sword-fight.

A Change of Fate
All that the other reviewers have said about this book is true, so I won't add to that. I was a close friend of Elisabeth for almost twenty years, and was with her when she wrote Changing Fate. We discussed it over a load of laundry, as I recall. The book is a gentle tale, much like her character. She said the wolf was based on Signy, her Wolf/shepherd cross, and often joked that she lived in a wolf pack, so she might as well write about it. She has an impressive body of work, all varied and imaginative. We collaborated on some tales, notably "Connecticat," in Catfantastic 3.
An Intriguing Fantasy Tale!
This story is a classic! It keeps you interested and entertained. Elizabeth Waters is and an amazing author and I hope to read more from her! The story of a woman and her amazing ability to transform - what could be more perfect? :-)
A definate favorite
This is one of my favorite fantasy novels, mixing shape-shifting, romance, kings, and adventure into a captivating tale. Elisabeth Waters is a great author and I only hope she keeps on writing!

An Amazing Grief Book
I know this book is probably written for and marketed to children, but as a grieving adult, it is awesome. The words he uses, the illustrations by Deborah Healy - all beautifully blend together. It appears (I haven't researched this fully) that Walter Wangerin, Jr. is a Christian writer, but this book could easily be used in all religious traditions.

I especially love the part where the townspeople go to the parson and demand answers from him. He simply says, "I don't know." Their response is, "how can we fight a mystery?"

I love the book for adults, but I think there are several good messages in it for children, one, that things are not always as they appear...

Description

WOMEN OF POWER AND ENCHANTMENT . . .

For over two decades, the late Marion Zimmer Bradley, best-selling and beloved author, discovered and nurtured a grand generation of popular and acclaimed writers including Mercedes Lackey (who returns to grace our pages this year), Jennifer Roberson, and a host of others. Authors who have appeared within the pages of Sword and Sorceress represent the full spectrum of some of the brightest talent working today -- from C.J. Cherryh, Charles de Lint, and Emma Bull . . . to Deborah J. Ross, Diana L. Paxson, and Laurell K. Hamilton.

We are proud to continue the classic and vibrant feminist tradition with this twenty-third volume of new magical adventures edited by Elisabeth Waters, secretary and co-editor to Mrs. Bradley.

Here are nineteen original stories of powerful women, swashbuckling and magic, spells and duels, arcane sorcery and heroic sacrifice, written by familiar spell-casters of wonder and bright newcomers who are sure to become favorites.

Enter a wondrous universe . . .

Sword and Sorceress never disappoints
Love the stories, even love the author's bios. The entire series is great. I guess I've had my head in the sand, because in the bios I learned Deborah Ross was chosen to continue the Darkover series, so I'll be ordering more books from Amazon today!
New Editor getting better
This is a good anthology, worthy of the MZB name. I liked it better than XXII (which I consider the weakest of the series). I was particularly pleased with a new story of one of my favorite alternate worlds and the adventures of the friends and family and long-suffering wife of Stephen, the perpetual student at a magical university. There were some funny stories too including another about Cluny the squirrel-mage and her hapless human familiar Crocker. I'm always game for a funny story, and this anthology delivers Marion's trademark preference for a funny short-short story at the end.

I don't rank the anthology as a 5-star because I hate the larger book size that the new publisher uses. I probably should not hate it because it allows for larger type-face and my eyes aren't as young as they used to be. However, the book proper is an awkward size for handling and reading, it doesn't fit on a normal paperback shelf, and it costs significantly more to purchase.
Great anthology
This is a great anthology/series. I definitely recommend it for women who are tired of seeing buff, hunky he-men having all the fun when it comes to having adventures, killing the monster in question, and defeating the villain of the plot.
Superb!! Wonder Filled Stories of Women Heroes
Well done tales of wielders of swords and magics. Marion Zimmer Bradley must be smiling down on all of us, writers and readers alike. Suspect MZB is laughing aloud as each of us discover another suspense solved with a unique twist. Her top quality anthologies continue in #23 to be well worth our time and complete attention. Thank You, Elisabeth Waters for a great job well done! I can barely wait for #24 in paperback and large print options too. Think I'll hunt up more of #1 through 22 for rereads while I am forced to impatiently wait for #24's release.

An eclectic mix!
I read Anthologies. I read them alot, and one thing I've noticed is that there is usually at least one story that just isn't worth the trouble of reading it. This is one book where this was not a problem.

Since this book is a collection of stories from a magazine there are many types of subjects with only the magazine as a common thread among the seperate stories. This is a departure from current anthologies and actually kept me interested throughout the book.

Great for subway rides!
