The use of the word quirky is driving me crazy.

Little Green Men (7/10)
A good story and a good interpretation of a tale but not very special in itself. Nothing really stood out to me.

White Hempen Sleeves (7/10)
I don’t get the reference to the legends (other than the play scene), but this is an interesting concept that was slightly confusing to read but still pretty interesting. I feel like there should’ve been more to it, but I liked this story.

A Shadow in Amber (9/10)
I loved the way this was written, the setting, the mood, everything about this story. It was so interesting. And I love how the last line “she does not even know his real name,” even though we never learn her name. I loved this.

Once (Them) & Future (Us) (8/10)
This was good. It had a strange start and some of the dialogue was weird but otherwise I liked it.

Flat White (9/10)
I liked the concept of this story, the main character, the way the legends were explained and twisted, and especially the way the story ends. This story is the taking back of your life from “destiny”, and I really loved it.

Black Diamond (5/10)
It was a good premise, but baseball? Really? This could have been done so well! But the author chose to have a baseball setting. And the timeline was confusing too, as well as certain side plots that were mostly unnecessary, unless you really want to focus on the legends instead of creating an original story. This story wasn’t very good.

The Quay Stone (7/10)
This story demonstrates toxic relationships well and it was pretty good, but the ending was weird and the story itself was a bit confusing sometimes and could’ve been longer.

Jack and Brad and the Magician (8/10)
So sad but also very good. There were certain things I didn’t love but mostly I liked this story.

Heartbeat (8/10)
This was a powerful story that was Avery good twist of the classic “sword in the stone”. It was better than the original, honestly, and an important story to tell too. I didn’t love the writing style but otherwise, I liked this.

Mayday (6/10)
I liked the format but the story itself was confusing (in part because I don’t know Arthurian legends but also because a lot of links between the information were missing). I could follow (barely) but it took a lot of thinking and wasn’t very fun. It would take thorough analysis to truly understand this story.

Do, By All Due Means (9/10)
This was funny, original, a bit strange, and it followed lots of tropes and subverted them. This story made me happy, and it was very cute too. My favourite so far (unsurprisingly).

The Bladesmith Queen (8/10)
I liked the characters and the concept of this story, even though the romance was slightly cliche. It was really good.

I Being Young and Foolish (7/10)
I liked the concept and the characters, and the way the story connected with nature and all that, but the time parts were confusing and overall it wasn’t very interesting.

How, after Long Fighting, Galehaut Was Overcome by Lancelot Yet Was Not Slain and Made Great Speed to Yield to Friendship; Or, Galehaut, the Knight of the Forfeit (5/10)
Funny but long and wordy, and also very unclear as to what was going on.

Passing Fair and Young (8/10)
This was a cute story, if not exactly the empowering tale I expected, and even if it wasn’t what I wanted it was still very good.

The Once and Futur Qadi (7/10)
This story was good, and now that I think about it it’s better than I originally thought. There wasn’t much action or very much going on at all, and the dialogue was confusing, but I liked it. I didn’t love the way women were portrayed but I understand what the author was trying to do, so it doesn’t really bother me.

Rat- (6/10) This was an okay story. Fine at the beginning, kinda boring in the middle, decent at the end, but with a pretty bad last chapter. It was nothing special.

If It Bleeds- (8/10) I really liked this story. It was a good continuation of what the Outsider set up, and the characters were great, as well as the suspense and all that.

The Life of Chuck- (5/10) It was okay I guess. The writing wasn’t the best, the characters were decent, the storyline was fine. There wasn’t much connection between the three parts. Overall just okay.

Mr. Harrigan’s Phone (6/10)- It was alright. A bit long and kinda confusing sometimes, but the characters were really good so it was okay.

The Reach-(8/10) This was a feel good story. I liked it. I liked how the town community was explained and the shift between what was happening and what Stella told the kids.

The Ballad of the Flexible Bullet-(8/10) I think this was a pretty good (and intense, and scary) explanation of insanity. I liked it. The Fornits were a bit weird, but who cares.

Gramma-(8/10) I liked how the kid was presented in the story, and how the gramma was shown as being scary. This one was well done.
