Reviews
“Infused with Huff’s vivid characters, entertaining action and wry humor. A must.”Locus
“Huff demonstrates how varied are her talents in this collection […] all of them are well above average in a genre that too often tells the same story over and over again. A collection of fantasy that should even please people who don’t usually like the form.”Science Fiction Chronicle
“WHAT HO, MAGIC! is a strong collection of stories with a great deal of wit [...] even the lesser efforts are smoothly written and imaginative. Her stories are, for the most part, crisp, quickly paced fantasies [...] a pleasant way to spend an afternoon.”Tangent Online
