Two good anthologies back to back! This one holds 4 stories, each with an elemental theme. Sharon Shinn's romance has a happy ending despite the pitfalls of making bargains with capricious air elementals. Jean Johnson's exotic desert setting is perfect for her tale of twins trying to determine who is the ruling heir with the power to command the earth. Carol Berg's wizards and sorcerers live in a world where water strips away all illusions. And in Rebecca York's parallel universe of psychics, magic and werewolves, those who control fire have the power to heal as well as harm. A satisfying collection of classic and contemporary fantasy.
