⭐⭐⭐💫/5
I always enjoy an antagonist with a good backstory. Someone who isn't evil just for evils sake. And the humour at the start of this, with the Fae in the forest, story totally got me into it.

The Enchanted Feather
⭐⭐⭐⭐💫/5
This was beautiful. All the feels here. What a lovely story dealing with mythical creatures, a surprising romance, selfless choices and finding hope with disability.

I was very much into this whimsical story about a dryad searching for her lost brother and struggling through her feelings of guilt. Such depth! The ending, however, was suddenly so fast, I blinked and it was over, which was disappointing.

Yumiko and the Battle Frog
⭐⭐⭐/5
Some of this I skimmed a little because there were a few plotholes that confused me and I felt like I was missing information with several newly introduced characters that likely appear in Sommers' other books that I haven't read, which made me less invested.
But her humour often makes me laugh and I loved the battle frog. So weird, but good.

Sultana of the Mist
⭐⭐⭐/5
A bit of repetition here and there, and the ending wooshed past with a plothole that wasn't solved in my mind as far as I could tell. But this was enjoyable. I liked the setting and the frog were great.

Maiden of the Bone Marsh
⭐⭐⭐/5
The writing style of this one is very different, leaning towards ye olden days whimsical.

In The Nick Of Time
⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
A dystopian fantasy story about a young woman in Paris, fighting for the underground and falling for the enemy.
This was fun and had a surprising plot twist.

The Killer Countess
⭐⭐⭐⭐💫/5
This was really good. I cared about the character, about her secrets and small flashbacks. Her sarcasm made me laugh and it had a good twist and tension. Very nice!

Prove me Wrong

The ending was very abrupt but I enjoyed the world building elements that made it quite immersive.

Twisted Destiny
⭐⭐⭐/5
A faun, a human girl, and a destined star-crossed romance.
It had some problems, but the romance is cute. I especially liked the first scene. Definitely more adult content though, even if it's not graphic.
Ocean's Crown
⭐⭐⭐/5
Pirates, stormwitches and a myth surrounding poseidon's descendants! Pirates of the Caribbean vibes. The ending was a bit abrupt, but this was fun.
