Rating: 4 out of 5

It is very difficult to give this book a review score out of 5. This isn't down to the fact that the stories within its pages aren't good, because they are. It's more because there are 9 different stories, and I liked some more than others. If I were to rate each individually it wouldn't be fair. Suffice to say that my star rating is an average of all those stories.As I said I liked some stories more than others, for various reasons. A few didn't go quite far enough for me. They also didn't keep my attention as much as others did.I do have my favourite stories from the book, and I'm going to mention those. But please don't allow the fact I choose favourites to suggest I didn't rate the others. It's just that the ones mentioned below held my attention throughout and I enjoyed them more.Obsidian Escape had a great storyline, immediately appealed to me and held my attention throughout. The characters were believable and the story was too.Obsidian Faith was a brilliant story. The background story was good, it was detailed, and it gave me more than enough for it to move on when it did. The second part of the story provided some intrigue as well, which also helped my enjoyment of it.Obsidian Sky was a love story with a difference due to a big secret being kept hidden.Obsidian Desire I liked, but it was over too quickly for me.All in all a great collection of stories which I enjoyed reading.
