Ellen Datlow: Naked city (2011, St. Martin's Griffin) 2 stars

Review of 'Naked city' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

Editor Ellen Datlow asked authors for fantasy stories set in a city, any city. Not all meet this requirement, or feel much like "urban fantasy". It also felt long, and took a month to read cover to cover. Just okay.

I liked "How the Pooka came to New York City" by Sherman and "Underbridge" by Beagle. "Curses" by Jim Butcher was fun, and this is the first I've read from that series. Three other authors contribute stories set in their series worlds, and none of the other three has me wanting to read more.
