Chicks in Chainmail by Esther M. Friesner
5.0
I thoroughly enjoyed this! It reminded me of exactly why I love reading fantasy: the creation of new worlds that are different from our own. Sometimes I read fantasy to believe in a world with magic; sometimes, a world of aliens; I read this book to believe in a world filled with bad ass women!
From the royal guardswomen whose metal bras get taxed (not for long, though), to the captive warrior who teaches a harem how to fight, and including the modern-day half-fairy who rescues her kidnapped son from Under the Hill with squirt guns, each of these chicks became my heroes.
I had been planning on passing this book on to another who might enjoy it, but now I'm thinking I may have to hang on to it, for my rereading pleasure :)
