“You know who I am. You know what I can do. Let her go.”
She rolled her eyes, and spun a finger through fine, straight black hair. “Why should I?”
“Because you know what happened the last time some vampires abducted a little girl and I decided to take her back.”
Her smile faltered slightly. As it should have. When bloodsucking Red Court vampires had taken my daughter, I took her back—and murdered every single one of them in the process. The entire species.
I’m not a halfway kind of person.

Unbound is a collection of short stories from various authors in the fantasy genre. Overall this is a good collection. The only thing I would have liked to see is at minimum a paragraph talking about what world these stories appear in because it's not clear where a reader should go if he or she wanted to read more about the characters and their world.
I reviewed these stories not in the order they appear, but in the order I chose to read them. I didn't review all the short stories, these are just..more

Almost everyone else seems to have adored this anthology. So I'm afraid that I'm going to be in the minority here.
Only one story ('Jury Duty' by Jim Butcher, which involved preventing an innocent man from going to prison and saving a child's life) really pleased me. That story I would give 4.5 stars.
Everything else, with the exception of one other story, involved the heroes trying to accomplish something and failing, losing (or, in some cases, failing to gain) power, freedom, sanity, their worl..more

“The world conspires to take everything from us in the end.”
Like most anthologies the junk outweighs the jewels, but in this case the good stories are very good: worth the price of the whole collection. I’ll ignore the garbage and review the gems. If there’s a theme to this collection, other than raising money for authors with medical bills, is that these are stories about story.

Perhaps it s a product of the busy age we live in that short story anthologies have become more appealing to my taste than before. Bite sized fiction for a world driven by sound-bites, and there are plenty of bites of different kinds in this riveting collection which Shawn Speakman has edited.

I struggle to see how a compendium can be given 5 stars, as there is always going to be variability in quality of short stories. I found this a long read, because it is hard to motivate to finish the crappier stories and sometimes hard to motivate beginning a new story in case it isn't very good. And then I'd find a good story and finish it in no time at all.
I'll review the 5-star stories; the whose authors I now want to read:

NOTE: Only read 'Jury Duty' by Jim Butcher.
Another short story in the Dresden Files. This one shows that magic is so much a part of everyday life for Harry, that it even plays a role when summoned for Jury Duty. The story is simple: Harry gets called to serve, the trial has some inconsistency, he decides to investigate, finds that supernatural elements are involved (this case: White Court), and the case gets dismissed. Simple and straightforward. Very good read nonetheless.
Recommend.

When I reviewed Unfettered, which is the first volume of this series of short stories, I think I mentioned that I came across this book from an entry in the blogs of David Anthony Durham and Jason Hough. Both are authors whose novels I have enjoyed a great deal, and both have a story in this particular volume.

Here's a run-down of my experiences with this book:
“Madwalls” by Rachel Caine
I usually prefer familiar settings and characters and for that reason short stories aren't my cup of tea. In this case, however, I knew about 3 minutes into this story that I would like it. It sucks you in quickly and stays engaging and intriguing through the very end. A true original!
“Stories Are Gods” by Peter Orullian

I thought this was pretty neat. I liked some more than others, but I thought the variety was great, and I was introduced to some authors I'd like to read more of. Worth the read!
The only story I read was 'Jury Duty' by Jim Butcher and it had his trademark dry wit. The supernatural elements blended in well with the rest of the story. Harry Dresden to the rescue (again)!!! A fun read.

Got it for Jim Butcher;
As said, got it for Jim Butcher. Rest was ok; readable; maybe a handful I enjoyed. Some stories weren't to my taste but that is expected in anthologies. One story stood out in the 'want to murder the supposed protagonist' sense but just that one.

Short Stories are great. not committed to any stretch and can move on. Lots of great ones in here.
So as with Unfettered before this there were stories that were good and there were stories that were not so good. That’s to be expected with anthologies with very few exceptions (I’m looking at you Stephen King). Instead of giving thoughts about each story, I’ll pick out some good and some bad.
The good: The Farmboy Prince, The Game, Small Kindnesses, The Siege of Tilpur, A Dichotomy of Paradigms
The bad: Uncharming, Fiber, The Way into Oblivion, The Hall of The Diamond Queen

The thing with anthologies that the quality of the stories varies. It may not be the objective quality, but the type of the story and the author voice that you like or don't like, which translates to a kind of subjective quality of the story. Do I make sense here? The point is that I loved some stories, especially those that were written by my favorite authors, there were some which were OK, and I found a few that I just couldn't appreciate. I expected it, so no big surprise there. Giving three..more

As with most anthologies, I liked some, didn't like others, pretty average about the rest. This one was more depressing than I'd like, but I know that's a selling point for many people. I just think I'm done with nihilism in my fantasy, at least for a goodly while.
The writing caliber of the stories is excellent, though. So while many just weren't my thing, it's a great anthology to see if you like the style of certain very popular writers. That's a great bonus for this package.

3 stars (avg)
I would say that every story in here was about 3 stars, there were a couple 2 star ones--mainly that I haven't read the worlds the stories come from (so I was missing a lot of backstory) -- and then there were a couple 4 star stories as well. No 5 star stories, IMO, and that was weird for me. But at the end of the day, I liked it. So there.

(Audiobook Review)
This one was surprising in that I actually liked almost every story in it. Some of them were slower than others, but I didn't outright dislike any, which is rare for an anthology that has more than 5 stories in it.
My Favorites:
Rachel Caine - Madwalls - This. Story. Was. Amazeballs. I didn't dig the narrator (in fact I'm not at all a fan of Allyson Johnson as a narrator.. so.. this audiobook was less awesome for that since she narrates goddamn nearly a third of it.) Anyway, R..more

This was an amazing collection of short stories, each of them kept me engaged and entertained. Listening to this as an audiobook, I didn't get the opportunity to just bounce from story-to-story and am I glad of that. I was 'forced' to listen to stories I might have otherwise just skipped.
I won't take the time to review each story, that has been done many times already, but I will say that I LOVED the following:

A strong collection of interesting, worthwhile stories. Only three of them lost my interest, prompting me to skip ahead to the next one. All in all, thumbs up.
