I'm guessing at this point that everyone who reads my blog knows that I'm not thrilled with the whole anthology concept. Unbound is no different, though slightly better since it's a paperback and they aren't asking us to spend the price of a hardback when I'm only interested in one or two short stories out of the whole book.
In this case, I was interested in the stories by Jeaniene Frost and Kim Harrison - and both of those stories were most excellent. For short stories.
In Kim Harrison's contribution, Ley Line Drifter, we finally get a story as told by Jenks. I have a feeling that this story is going to be critical to a future full length book in the Hollows series, as there were a few loose ends at the end of the book. But, all in all, it was a good story - an 8 of 10.
Jeaniene Frost' story, Reckoning, gives us the story of Bones' last adventure before meeting Cat. Complete with why his hair was platinum. Again, I'll give the story an 8 of 10. Possibly a bit more, as I don't think that reading this story is going to be critical to understanding a future book in the Night Huntress series.
I have not read the other stories in the book, so I'm not going to give the entire book a rating. If I see others ranting and raving about how good one of the other stories is then I'll check it out - otherwise, I'm not really that interested in the other stories.
Harper Collins has some of the book online, you can read it here.
