Firebirds

Over the last week, I have read for about eight hours and read the whole book. Firebirds is an anthology of science fiction and fantasy all in one book. Those are my favorite genres and I found that this book or 'anthology' to fufil its promise of having some of the best stories of its time. My favorite stories were 'The Lady of the Ice Garden' and 'Little Dot'. These stories involve demons, monsters, cats, and mythical creatures.
Little Dot is about a cat that can talk to her human and her human happens to be a wizard. That wizard also happens to be a hopeless animal lover. Over time, Little Dot is joined by six other cats, one of which gets named Big Dot because of her similar apperance to Little Dot and also happens to have six kittens during the story. Little Dots' human starts dating a woman who happens to hate cats. The wizard becomes completely sucumed to his girlfriend and leaves his cats outside. The cats break into his house and ruin all of the clothing and other things that belong to his girlfriend. Big Dot also happens to haver her kittens in the middle of her bed. The girlfriend becomes enraged and demands that the wizard get rid of the cats and drown the newborn kittens, so the wizard sends her away. The girlfriend, now ex-girlfriend, tries to get her revenge by... but I wont give the story away by telling you how, so read the story.
This book was compiled by Sharyn November and has fire in the shape of an eagle on the front. Have fun finding it!
