5.0
a well-done compilation
I really enjoyed this anthology of fantasy retellings. They were all original and quite well-written, and the spectrum of high and urban fantasy with a unified theme was compiled with great skill and made for an engrossing read. Most of the stories had far too much steam for my taste, but I still found things I liked about each, and I will consider reading the authors’ other works.
My favorites were Her Majesty’s Wolf and How to Marry a Winged King.
I would recommend this book to anyone looking for short but well-developed retellings.
