Bliv medlem af LibraryThing for at finde ud af, om du vil kunne lide denne bog. Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog. I like short stories. Particularly Sci-Fi/Fantasy short stories. I say that because I want to be clear, my bias is to like this collection. It ultimately was OK, but way too repetitive and sometimes boring. It wasn't the conceit--strong women warrior protagonists--it was the lack of enough creativity to sustain through the length of the book. The other problem is that it is sold as humor and some of the stories are funny or at least have a punch line. Only one made me do anything other than be a little amused. I think this is the part of the editor and marketer rather than the individual stories, but it did affect my enjoyment of the book. ( ) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

The Popular Chicks in Chainmail Series Set New Standards (and Sales Figures) for Humorous Fantasy. Here're the First Three books in One Specially-Priced Omni-Trade Volume. Here they come, and they're out for blood. For too long, they say, have hot blooded babes in brass bras and chain link bikinis been held up to scorn as the embodiment of male fantasy wish-fulfillment and non-fictionality. You think their swords won't cut, their clubs won't crush? You think they look cute? It's time to take sword-swinging amazons more seriously. Well, maybe not too seriously. After all, the popular Chicks in Chainmail series wasn't known for stark drama and solemn think-pieces. In fact, they made a lot of people laugh. And now the first three books in the series are combined in one attractively-priced Omni-Trade Paperback volume. · Chicks in Chainmail (The look at the lighter side of amazons that started it all.) · Did You Say Chicks? (Smile when you say that, you wimpy noncombatant!) · Chicks 'n Chained Males (Those men just can't take care of themselves, so send in the amazons!) It's all right to have a laugh or two. The swordswomen like a good laugh as much as the next amazon. Just don't let them get the idea that you're laughing at them, instead of with them--if you know what's good for you . . . Stories of fierce female fighters by Harry Turtledove, Roger Zelazny, Elizabeth Moon, Jan and S.M. Stirling, K. D. Wentworth, Lawrence Watt-Evans and more--including Esther Friesner herself.
