Sounds like a good deal. 1,437 pages of stories for just .99.

Well, this is rather odd. I had looked at this collection previously, and one of the books that was listed (last week?) has been deleted since my viewing, Susan Kaye Quinn's Third Daughter (you'll observe that the 2nd and 3rd in her series are prominent in the "also bought"s). (If you search the title at eReaderIQ, as of this moment it comes up showing her book as included, with the same ASIN and everything.) Just thought I'd mention it since I've never encountered that before, and it leaves me a bit unsettled about the collection.
Of the authors currently listed for the set, I'm familiar with Bec McMaster. She's won awards for her paranormal romance, and her setting has more creativity and depth than many. The included book is the start of a follow-on series, and I wouldn't read it before the ones that preceded it. It's also her foray from smaller-press-published to self-published, and I thought it showed in the editing - copy editing for typos and all are fine, but content editing for tightness of plot etc. had dropped IMHO.
