WHAT EYES CAN SEE: This is definitely the most traditional of the collection, but it's unique as well in its way. I liked that the "wicked" stepfamily wasn't actually wicked, and I could certainly relate to Arella's shyness. It was a sweet story and a good beginning for the collection.
BROKEN GLASS: Eep! This was awesome! All the characters were such fun, and I loved the dialogue, particularly that between Rosalind and Marius, and all the scheming. The ending was great as well; Emma should write a sequel. Finally, it was steampunk, which I really liked. The world needs more steampunk fairy tales.
THE WINDY SIDE OF CARE: This was definitely my favorite story in the collection. It was absolutely delicious, every bit of it. The characters, the plotting, the way everything tied together in the end, the wry twist of humor- it was all wonderful. It also reminded me a bit of [b:Entwined|8428195|Entwined|Heather Dixon|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1279037245s/8428195.jpg|13291399] in certain ways (mostly the accents and some of the humor).
A CINDER'S TALE: This was a very unique story. The setting was my favorite part, and I'd like to see more stories/books set in the same world.
THE MOON MASTER'S BALL: This wasn't quite what I thought it would be from what I'd heard, but I really liked it! The mystery and the magical, eerie feel enchanted me, and I liked how certain plot elements tied together in the end.
