2.0

I think this anthology would have been better if there had been a more thorough vetting of which story to keep and which to let go. There's too many that are either boring or that are too focused on combat that hasn't been constructed to be fun to read on paper.

My average rating of the stories is a 2.39, which yikes, that's really low.

The best ones imo are:
• Gorlist's Dragon by Elaine Cunningham = 3
• Wickless in the Nether by R.A. Salvatore = 4
• Waylaid by Thomas M. Reid = 3
• Standard Delving Procedure = 3.5
• An Icy Heart by Voronica Whitney-Robinson= 3
• How Sharper than a Serpent's Tooth by Dave Gross = 3 (would have been a 3.5 if not for the ending)
