Uuumm...what kind of bad girls of fantasy anthology starts with a male main character bragging about his alpha male buddy (pages in and I'm just being told what a hard ads guy this dudebro is) who no doubt will be vamped on by a woman? When do I get to see a female character? Why should I care at all if this massively unlikable dbag dies?

Okay. Story 2 was decent, but too convoluted language-wise. This story has the kind of linguistic excesses that get made into the eyerolling cliches and stereotypes of the genre.

Arrrgh. Story 2 is the kind of fantasy that uses twice the words needed and sacrifices clarity for "atmospheric effect". And despite women being considered chattel property in this setting, somehow the main character is a judge/lawgiver. Not sure how that works.

Story #1: Blergh. So this woman that feeds on macho men exists. I can't tell you what she looks like, what she is, who she is, or anything other than she's an evil leech with a vagina, but she, like all women, victimized guys and profited off it. My poor guy friend. He wouldn't listen to me and now he can't win at poker anymore.
