Reviews

[Elizabeth · Rating 4 out of 5]

Short stories. A great mix!

[Blossom · Rating 2 out of 5]

Mediocre at best , only read about half of the book before moving on to something else.

[Tiffany · Rating 2 out of 5]

Anthologies are hard ... some stories were pretty good, but more of them were not. Favorites were probably Eugie Foster's "Returning My Sister's Face," and Theodora Goss's "Pip and the Fairies."

[Brian · Rating 2 out of 5]

A few decent stories but nothing spectacular. I don't even remember most of them. I'm glad I got this book for free in my Balticon 2009 attendees bag instead of having paid for it.
