Average Rating:
 Rating:  - George R R Martin & Anne McCaffreyNote: This review is for the item pictured, with stories by Terry Goodkind, George RR Martin, and Anne McCaffrey. It seems that the reviews run the range of available editions and volumes, so I just wanted to be clear. Further, I'm reviewing only the two stories and not Goodkind's because due to limited time I only chose the two to read, and in my previous experience I haven't liked Goodkind's writing. I didn't read it, so I can't say good nor ill in this circumstance.

Anne McCaffrey (Pern), George R. R. Martin (A Song of Ice and Fire), and Terry Goodkind (Sword of Truth) all contribute short novels to this volume in the Legends series, and all are well worth your time. Goodkind's story, "Debt of Bones," leads off the trilogy, and deals with a time when Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander ...

The Hedge Knight gives us a little history of a few of the families from the other stories. I especially like how it makes the Targaryens more tangible. They seem almost like a family of crazy, yet mystical people in the other books, but here we see them as your typical royal family with troubles like every one else. I eagerly await the next installment ... Read More Rating: - Some advice that may be helpfulThis version of legends is divided into three parts, if you search for Robert Silverberg you can find it in one volume for about the same price, so that you get all three parts together for about a third of the price As to the book,I can only review the second part (I made the mistake of ordering legends 2 thinking that it was all 11 stories, but it was really just three.) The three stories that were in it were:Debt of Bones by Terry Goodkind The Hedge Knight by George R.R. Martin and Runner of Pern, ... Read More Rating:  - Great Read!This was a pretty good book. I have the complete version of it though. I liked most of the stories but I think the author's should of written more about, well, their main characters. Most of the stories had nothing to do with the book except that it's in that particular world. I don't know, I don't find that too interesting. It's kind of pointless really. Anyways, I enjoyed the stories anyways because the authors are great writers.
