Fantastic collection overall. Its not straight fantasy, the various (very successful) authors involved were given a lot of latitude in interpreting 'dragon' as a theme for the collection, so hopefully there's something here for a variety of fiction readers.
There were, for me, a couple of low points. Not necessarily poorly written stories, but ones that didn't hold my attention as well (as I *was* here for the dragons). Roger Stine's 'Thermals of August' springs to mind, which was primarily about hangliders. "Soldatenmangel" was also on the strange side, and a little goofy, though still entertaining.
Overall, great fantasy read though.

Pretty solid, but nothing special... aside from one story, the one about the rigger. <3
