Wizards is a unique compilation of short stories from many critically acclaimed science fiction/fantasy authors. Stories from authors such as Eoin Colfer from the Artemis Fowl series and Orson Scott Card who wrote Ender's Game are in this book and have never been published. From ancient times to magic in the modern world, Wizards has a tale that can appeal to almost any audience. This book is one in a series of short story compositions edited by Jack Dann and Gardner Dozois, and the topics of these books are very wide in variety. So if wizards are not a subject of interest, read a book from the series with a more appealing theme.

Opinion: 

I have always enjoyed books that group stories from many different authors, and Wizards did not let me down. Many people have a very narrow view of a wizard, but once you read this book, that view will be significantly stretched. My favorite story was "Zinder," by Tanith Lee. It was about an "ugly duckling" that becomes something marvelous during the night. However, each story brings something new to the reader that leaves his/her appetite for imagination fulfilled. This book is highly recommended for all the Harry Potter fans out there and for those who enjoy fantasy.
