I can't speak for the other two volumes of this anthology (or the US edition, which seems to have slightly different contents and running order), but this is a dreadfully greedy and lazy cash-in on the popularity of GoT/ASOIAF.
Ouch. That's disappointing to hear. I picked that up a few months ago, wanting to support more anthologies, and haven't gotten around to read it.
Supposedly the protagonists' names (Mickey Montauk and Halifax Corderoy) are a clue
I'm lost as to why, because they don't ring any bells to me. If they're a reference to something it went right over my head.
