THE CHRONICLES OF SIRKARA by Laura Resnick
This series is also called THE SILERIAN TRILOGY and IN FIRE FORGED.

As in all anthologies, some of the stories are to my taste, some aren’t, and there is probably something for everyone.

I might say "formulaic" actually.
Your review made me curious, so I looked this book up. Sure enough: Tor. Tor seems to specialize in these…
It's a tightrope act for sure.

yes, I mean, there are certainly lots of good sci-fi/fantasy novellas out there, so they aren't impossible to do, but…
