• Random House’s site has this description.
• Adrienne Martini reviews the book in the June issue of Locus Magazine: “Many will buy this anthology simply for another sliver of Westeros from Martin in ‘‘The Rogue Prince, or, the King’s Brother’’. Here Martin fleshes out more of the Targaryen line in perfectly fine fashion. Patrick Rothfuss’ ‘‘The Lightning Tree’’, Michael Swanwick’s ‘‘Tawny Petticoats’’, and Walter Jon Williams’ ‘‘Diamonds From Tequila’’ are like beautiful postcards from their respective worlds that any fan of the author’s work will enjoy. And, of course, there is the oft-hinted-about-but-never-seen ‘‘How the Marquis Got His Coat Back’’ by Neil Gaiman, which returns to the world of Neverwhere with a deceptively simple story well told.”

• Faren Miller’s review, from the June issue of Locus Magazine, is posted here: “In The Quick Laurel Owen – a brand-new author with an M.A. in Victorian Literature – has produced her own mind-bending tour de force.”
