considering I'm apparently literally the only person to have read/rated this on here, I feel like I should explain that there really are some cracking stories in here, it's just that I didn't feel all the stories lived up to the premise.

Like most short story collections, there are good and bad stories. My favorite was by MJ King.

This was a fun anthology, written by women about women. The stories range from pretty good to great, and just about all of them left me wishing I could continue reading them at novel-length. Some were straight fantasy, and others were a blended into a modern world. "The Provenance Game" by Freya Marske was my favorite, "The Leviathan's Bride" by Wendy Gowins was a sparse and haunting piece, and "Heartbreaker" by JJ Kahrs should be made into a cool-looking tv show.

A wonderful anthology. It's rare for me to find a short story anthology where I like almost all of the stories - I think I only skipped/speed through two pieces here. A very good mix of stories. My favorite was probably the last story: "The Way of Sisters" by April Steenburgh, but there were quite a few engaging ones whose authors I will certainly be looking up. Overall a really impressive book.
