First Firebirds . Then Firebirds Rising . Now there is Firebirds Soaring , the third anthology of original stories by some of today's finest writers of fantasy and science fiction. These authors, including Nancy Farmer ( The Sea of Trolls ), Ellen Klages ( The Green Glass Sea ), Margo Lanagan ( Black Juice ), and Jane Yolen ( The Devil's Arithmetic ), have brought new worlds and Old Magic to life in nineteen remarkable pieces of short fiction. Mike Dringenberg, co-creator of Sandman with Neil Gaiman, contributes decorative vignettes. Firebirds Soaring - like Firebirds and Firebirds Rising - sets the standard for short fiction for teenagers and adult fans of the genre.
I love this anthology series. I own all three, and am very happy with them. The stories are very readable and intriguing. I'm also a tutor and use them with my students, who enjoy them. The length of the stories varies from just a dozen pages to 100. Overall a great read and a great way to find new authors to read.
