Dragon of Dread Peak gets 5 stars. Very interesting world.

Longing for Stars Once Lost and What I Told my Little Girl... were both also good, but not the stand out that Dragon of Dread Peak was.

The stand out piece was Longing for Stars Once Lost. I also really enjoyed What I Told My Little Girl About the Aliens Preparing to Grind Us Into Hamburgers by Adam-Troy Castro.

Becoming - Rachel Swirsky ****
A cute idea, well put together and building to a suitably exaggerated and comic finale.

The Breaker Queen - CSE Cooney ****
Great take on fairies, as the titular queen lures a visiting artist into her land underlying the mundane house above. The love story that develops out of this standard fey set up is suitably passionate and the emotion is tied up with political succession conflicts in the fairyland and the world of artistic patronage above.
