I don't read short stories often, but sometimes I do get in the mood for them, and this collection of short and sweet queer fairy tales was perfect for one of those times. I admit I found about half of the stories in the book forgettable, but they were still nice while they're lasted and put me in a good mood. The two installments I enjoyed the most are The Last Petal on the Rose by Stephanie Rabig (a loose Beauty and the Beast retelling, very gay, very lovely, with a sweet HEA that put a smile on my face) and Tam Lin by Kathleen Danielson, a queer furry retelling of a well-known legend with some interesting and vaguely creepy ideas. I have a few more books from this series of short stories collections on hand, and I'll be going through them whenever I'm in the mood for something short and sweet.
