Bruce Coville

Bruce Coville has edited an impressive collection of ten short stories about half-human creatures who struggle with the dual aspects of their existence.

Half-human

This was a real treat. I had this collection of ten short stories by different fantasy authors lying around for quite a while now, having it originally bought for only one of the stories. Now I finally managed to read the whole collection and don't regret it.

The stories are all different in topic and style, naturally. But still the common theme suggested by the title can be found in all of them. Sometimes the characters are literally half-human, sometimes one has to look closer to "see" their other side.

Although these are fantasy stories they are also recommended reads for people who normally don't enjoy the genre in itself too much, because that isn't the point in the stories. It's friendship, discovering one's own merits and other important aspects of life. And because I can't find any fault with the collection or any of its stories, it deserves the highest rating.
