15 stories. 15 authors. 15 characters taking what it means to be a warrior in as many different directions as can be imagined. This collection of short stories was edited by Tamora Pierce and Josepha Sherman, and it is quite a compilation.
None of the stories are the same. Not all involve fighting. From an Irish monastery to India to imaginary lands, there are more than enough different settings and characters to keep anyone interested. Don't like one character? Skip to the next story.
I admit that my favourites were Student of Ostriches by Tamora Pierce, An Axe for Men by Rosemary Edgehill, and Acts of Faith by Lesley McBain. Several others I didn't care for. But that's the beauty of a compilation: you don't have to like everything.
The status of this book is Highly Recommended.
