Negative Positive
Title: Scraping the barrel.
Review: The pervading feeling I got from this collection of short stories was that it was everything that was "left over" or "didn't make the cut" from Realms of the Dragons, Volume One.None of the short stories were engaging by any stretch of the imagination. Some, like "Freedom's Promise" possess interesting plots, but are written in a manner that ruins the whole effect. (Freedom's Promise was 100% predictable and does not deviate at all from what you would expect it to be).To further support the "left overs" theory, the last thirty pages of this novel are excerpts from other novels; single-chapter snippets that serve only to fill printing space.Unless you're a die-hard fan of the series, avoid this one.
