Review: Review of The Glassheart Chronicles
Rating: 4 out of 5

I mainly picked up The Glassheart Chronicles because one of my favorite authors has a story in it.  (Not telling, you guys can guess which one if you want)  Altogether I did enjoy the anthology, but some of the stories frustrated me.  Don't get me wrong they were all well written.  They all to one degree or another drew me in and kept my attention. I think if I had previously read the authors works that related to the short stories I would have enjoyed them more.  If I had already read the authors work I might have been able to say "oh that's this characters back story" or "oh, yeah, now that whole reason for her being a crazy sociopath kinda makes sense".  But because I hadn't some of the stories just seemed too short.As I said above the writing is good and the stories did draw me in and hold my interest. I did add a few books to my wish list based on the authors work here so it didn't turn out all bad. If you are a fan of any of the authors I would definitely recommend picking this one up. But even if you aren't familiar with any of them I think the collection provides a nice introduction to these authors, their styles and their novels  and is worth the read.
