Performances are good
although it is a star-studded affair there are only a few stories that I enjoyed most of them go nowhere.

All the best in one place, what's not to like!
What a lot of content for 1 credit :) I have not listened to all of this yet and I have skipped to my Favourite authors so far, but will definitely listen to all. The main draw for me was to get a chance to hear some more from Kvothe and Bast from the King Killer series (books 1+2 only) which I have just finished and was left wanting more. Then Joe Abercrombie & Neil Gaiman who I love to listen to and George R R Martin & Scott Lynch who I will now go on to listen to more of! If you are curious about any of these authors/stories or already know and love some of them what a fantastic chance maybe find something new or expand on an existing series. Well worth 1 credit even if you don't like it all. - P.S the Bast Story is very good :)

Just okay
Some stories better than others, same with performances. The game of thrones story is not what I hoped.

Varied and generally good
What was one of the most memorable moments of Rogues?
It's a really nice mix of different stories and narrators, the narrators have been chosen well for the stories. Because the stories are all starring a rogue, the rogue can be anything or anyone and this gives some interesting variety I did not expect. I purchased this for the Patrick Rothfuss story mainly but have ended up purchasing books from several other authors also featured.

Some of my favourites
What did you like most about Rogues?
This has three amazing short stories from my favorite authors - Neil Gaiman, Patrick Rothfuss and Mr Martin himself.
What did you like best about this story?
All three of those are stories that expand upon those that I've been waiting for a sequel for: Neverwhere, The Kingkiller Chronicles and The Song of Ice and Fire
Have you listened to any of George R. R. Martin’s other performances? How does this one compare?
The final story has a much better narrator than George's other works. Personally I don't take to short stories that much, but the quality of these makes up for it.

A fascinating collection.
Fascinating collection: well paced with strong openers and just enough "dullness" in the middle.Superb cast.Just couldn't wait until the Rothfuss piece came up.Absolutely worth it

Mostly great, some brilliant and a couple of duds
This is the first anthology I've downloaded and I was really pleasantly surprised by the ratio of amazing stories to ones I didn't enjoy so much.
There were a couple of ones I thought were significantly lower quality than the others, but I'm sure other people would have a reverse opinion to my own.
The performances were largely fine, there were a couple of voice actors I found insufferable but they were the minority. Each book is read by someone different, so don't be put off if you don't like the first actor - the old chap introducing each author did have me worried when I started but he only narrates one actual piece.
Overall I would (and have) highly recommend this collection!

the best of the stories - the lightening tree
there were a few good stories, some of which I skipped after listening for 20-30 mins. the best one being the lightning tree which I would have rated at 5*, which if I'm honest was the reason for purchasing this book.
