This being the first Bad-Ass Faeries collection I don't have a story in, I feel free to give it an honest-to-goodness review.

Over the seven years we have been producing the series, I have never seen a stronger group of stories on a more diverse number of topics.

The premise of this collection is elemental faeries. Not just generic fae that happen to work through the elements, but specific fae drawn down from the actual myths and legends of the world...and I do mean the world!

The originality and creativity these authors have shown delights me, from N.R. Brown's surfer-girl oceanid to DL Thurston's fiery lucador. I'm not going to go into great detail as the book contains loads of lovely surprises, but I can tell you that not one story in this book received less than 4 stars from us editors when we were making our final selectons of what made the book.
