Like a lot of anthologies, there were some stories I enjoyed and some I didn't care much for... and unfortunately, no clear stand-outs (for me). This collection leans more fantasy than sci-fi, and I do think you'll get more out of it as a reader if you're somewhat familiar with Chinese fantasy conventions. I also enjoyed the occasional essays on the subject of writing and translating these kinds of stories.
