Rich Horton was pleased with the anthology in his review in Locus Magazine (April 2009), focusing on my short story "Sphinx!" and Liz Holliday's "Fletcher's Ghost". Here's what he said about my story:

In Ages of Wonder, Tony Pi's "Sphinx!" is a delight, set in a quite alternate history, in which the land of Ys is threatened by a sphinx that a film maker has apparently revived for a new movie. But other things are going on - most notably, perhaps, the jealousy of the movie's director about his young wife, the movie's star.

Try them all!
