Songs of Love and Death: All-Original Tales of Star-Crossed Love by Gardner Dozois, George R.R. Martin

3.0

As with any short story collection, some were great, others were meh. I loved the fairytale feel of Robin Hobb's "Blue Boots" and Cecelia Holland's "Demon Lover." The twist endings on M.L.N Hanover's "Hurt Me" and Neil Gaiman's "The Thing About Cassandra" had me reading the stories all over again. My favorite by far was "Under/Above the Water" by Tanith Lee which has such a lovely, dreamlike quality and intriguing plot. Overall, this was an enjoyable collection. 3 stars as I felt like some stories were entirely skippable and not worth reading, and others felt like repetitions of other stories in the same collection.
