The sea and little fishes: 4/5. Short and enjoyable, told in typical Pratchett style. Don't need to have read any granny weatherwax novels to appreciate.

Runner of pern: 3/5. It was ok, but didn't make me want to go read more of her books.

The hedge night: 4/5. My favourite of the 5 stories. I havent actually read any George R. R. Martin before this but if this is anything to go by I need to move him up my to read list a bit. Theres references to families and people that I didn't really get as I haven't the series but didn't need to understand these to enjoy the story.

The burning man: 2.5/5. Didn't really like it, but can't put my finger on why, so maybe it just wasn't really my thing.

New spring: 2/5. I had no idea what was happening for a good portion of this. Perhaps someone who has read other wheel of time books would feel differently, but the references to countries and battles and customs got boring and I started skimming to finish this story quicker. Also, I think there was maybe too many characters for a short story, and they all had stupid names which I was never sure how to pronounce.

So, overall 3/5 stars. It's a shame the better stories are at the beginning as it just seamed to go downhill.
