Okay, but I preferred the original Bordertown stories. The explanation for the years-long gap was fine, but these new stories didn't capture me the way the old ones did. ( )
This collection is so DARN GOOD. "The origin node for urban fantasy, " says Cory Doctorow. WELCOME TO BORDERTOWN may be your first visit to the Borderlands ... but it won't be your last. Stellar collection of short stories, expertly edited by Holly Black and Ellen Kushner. Addictive as Mad Water! I'm now chasing Borderland 1-7, delighted by the challenge of unearthing increasingly HTF vintage editions. ( )
This book was my first introduction to Bordertown, and I think I might have enjoyed it more had I been familiar with previous stories set there. The stories were enjoyable (although in an anthology of course it's always a mixed bag--some you love, some are less engaging) but I always felt like maybe I'd be enjoying them more if I had some Bordertown experience. I love the concept though, of a place where our world and other realms meet, neither one nor the other, familiar but strange. Recommended for fans of urban fantasy, for sure! ( )
