Robin Hobb and Megan Lindholm are both pen names for the same person - I’ve read all of Hobb’s Realm of the Elderlings series but this was my first foray into Lindholm’s work. This anthology was an odd compilation - it’s unlikely that Hobb & Lindholm’s works would’ve been published in this way had they not been written by the same person. There’s no cohesion between each of their short stories or their writing styles, and their works don’t really belong together in the same book. The short stories written by Hobb were okay, mainly for being set in the same world as the Realm of the Elderlings. Her writing as Lindholm just didn’t grip me in the same way and I don’t know that I’d read more of her works under that pen name.
