This is one of the best anthologies I've read. Pretty much all the stories were solid and compelling, and generally had some humor- because, hey, rogues! I don't know that I can pick out a favorite story or 2, because they all were compelling good reads.OK, except for Martin's. His read like- and probably was- "historical" notes for his GoT novels. No characterization, no fleshing out, just a dry record of "this happened and then that happened". As someone who is not a GoT expert, it wasn't even clear how it fit into the history of the novels, plus the names were confusing and there was no family tree or glossary to consult. I would honestly not even call this a story.But the rest of the book was great!

Rogues, the short story anthology edited by George R.R. Martin and Gardner Dozois, contains over twenty stories of above average quality and wonderful use of the titular quality that connects all the stories. The twenty-one stories from several genres features significant characters as rogues no matter gender, species, and orientation from authors both well-known to general audiences and some note so.Of the twenty-one stories featured in Rogues the three best not only were high quality writing and features very roguish characters, but also were able to introduce a reader into the already established universe they take place in that only enhanced the story. The opening story “Tough Times All Over” takes place within the First Law world that Joe Abercrombie established himself writing about, “The Inn of the Seven Blessings” by Matthew Hughes takes place with in the world of Archonate, and “A Cargo of Ivories” by Garth Nix takes place within the world of Sir Hereward and Mister Fitz. While these were the best, the stories by Joe R. Lansdale, Michael Stanwick, and Patrick Rothfuss set within an establish world they had create were also very good.The stories especially created for this anthology is a mixture of the very good, the bad, and those that were just missing something. Daniel Abraham’s “The Meaning of Love”, David W. Ball’s “Provenance”, and Scott Lynch’s “A Year and A Day in Old Theradane” were wonderfully written stories in two separate genres that were in the top seven stories of the whole collection. “Now Showing” by Connie Willis is unfortunately one of the worst stories of the collection which was a shame considering that she wrote about several interesting ideas, but the execution with the characters crushed the story. Yet some of the stories while good and having roguish characters just felt like they were missing something: “Heavy Metal” was missing a fuller backstory to the main character and a better understanding of the supernatural powers at work yet once done could become a fascinating future series for Cherie Priest, and “The Curious Affair of the Dead Wives” was fantastic homage to Sherlock Holmes and John Watson by Lisa Tuttle that just felt it could have been more.Yet some of the biggest disappointments in this collection were from established authors and their established series. The worst story of the collection is “A Better Way to Die” by Paul Cornell that takes place in his alternate history timeline that features the spy Johnathan Hamilton but the reader has no idea about the world if you had never read an earlier story that featured Hamilton. And my personal disappointment was “The Rogue Prince” that George R.R. Martin wrote as an Archmaester of the Citadel as a biography of Daemon Targaryen but was more of a history of the events leading up to The Dance of the Dragons that he told in “The Princess and the Queen”.The twenty-one stories that make up Rogues feature--more than not--very good short stories from across genres whether in established worlds or one-offs. Yet like all anthologies, it is a mixed bag in quality and expectations, but often than not the reader will be satisfied after finishing these stories with time well spent in several wonderful settings following some very unscrupulous individiuals.Individual Story RatingsTough Times All Over by Joe Abercrombie (4.5/5)What Do You Do? by Gillian Flynn (3.5/5)The Inn of the Seven Blessings by Matthew Hughes (5/5)Bent Twig by Joe R.

I bought the book for the Scott Lynch (Lies of Loch Lamora) story, which was wonderful, but the other stories introduced me to a whole slew of characters whose authors write of scams, misdirection, and "not everything seems as it appears". Most stories slant towards the science fiction/fantasy side, but not all: there are rogues everywhere. I ended up buying the first book of perhaps a dozen series based on the creativity in the short stories. Turned out to be an expensive purchase (for the irony impaired: not for the book itself but for the followup purchases) that has added to my "to be read" pile immensely. Which is I guess why authors put their stories in collections like this. A great introduction to a wide range of creative authors and interesting characters.

This is a great book. Loved all the stories. Even the ones I would never have even considered reading by themselves turned out to be very enjoyable..That said: I have to address the elephant in the room. WTH is up with Martin!?!??! Am I the only one that is just baffled about how boring his story is? (And this ain't the first time; his contribution to The Book of Swords was even worse)I don't even claim to be a writer, but I did give it a try once and took an at home creative writer course -back in the days of word processors- and I remember one of the first critiques I got from my writing coach was; a story is not just the narrating of a series of events, it's got to have a point to it. That's all The Rogue Prince is, -at least as far as I've gotten with the story, admittedly I haven't finished. I have been skipping pages though hoping to get to something that feels like a story instead of a pro-log.This is not how I remember A Song of Fire and Ice reading like. Then again, it's been sooo long since the last book, maybe I've forgotten. Surly though, if ASoFaI read like this I would have never got through A Game of Thrones.Please tell me if I'm wrong about this.Despite my rant; the book is a solid 5 stars and then some, despite Martin.
