The Snow Woman's Daughter - 3 stars
Ooh this is neat. A story of what happens after the original tale of Yuki-Onna.

Returning My Sister's Face - 4.5 stars
Ooh, I just love a story of revenge from the grave after being terribly wronged. Kukuku.

Year of the Fox - 2 stars
I don't know about this one. Lots of set up but I don't think the pay off was there. I did enjoy that this featured a f x f romance.

Shim Chung the Lotus Queen - 3 stars
I must ashamedly say that I don't really know of any Korean folk tales so reading this retelling was rather interesting. Reminds me of The Little Mermaid just a little bit.

The Raven's Brocade - 2 stars
This is the shortest story yet and, sadly, one I liked the least so far. Tsuru no Ongaeshi is one of my favorite Japanese folk tales. I don't think there was enough thought or depth to it and the names of the characters was far too literal. Binbou and Karasu? Binbou means poor person and Karasu means crow. Takes all the whimsy and magic out of it.

Honor is a Game Mortals Play - 4 stars
This reminded me of Inuyasha with a sprinkle of a Yuki-Onna retelling. Pretty fun. =D.

A Thread of Silk - 2 stars
This one was missing the more whimsical feeling the previous two stories had, mostly because it's based on real historical events with added touches of magic. It didn't work for me.
