ETA June 2013: I was unaware when I reviewed this that there was controversy surrounding this editor. Because the original blog post detailing what happened has been taken down, I can only go by hearsay. Apparently in later anthology, one of the authors wanted to include a homosexual love story and ...
1.5 stars to The Assassin's Apprentice by Michelle Zink. Overall I felt the story was unsatisfying. You were dumped into the story with an unclear setting and limited characterization. The story also did not meet the "paranormal love" element in my opinion since that was out of NOWHERE and weak. A s...
Short stories. I read it mostly for Sarah Rees Brennan’s “The Spy that Never Grew Up,” which was lots of fun. As with any short story collection, especially one composed of stories from different authors, I really liked some and really didn’t like others. [Mar. 2011]
I didn't actually read the whole book, so rating it seems unfair, but the parts I did read were, you know, better than average. The big problem here is that I hate books of short stories. I know, it's not fair, and I actually do enjoy some individual short stories, but I'm just not ever going to r...
Did... I find a whole new host of supernatural creatures to crush on?: YES. Djinn anyone? Angels? Unicorn hunters?Did... I decide to add every single author to my TBR?: YES. I'm already a dyed-in-the-wool Stiefvater fan, but now my list of authors I'm slavishly reading has grown!Did... I find I ...
I'm never really sure how to rate anthologies. There were stories in this one I liked, but also stories I hated--including, unfortunately, the opening story, which almost made me throw the rest of the book away unread. Fortunately I'd picked it up originally to read Peterfreund's story, which was th...
Finally, an anthology that was worth reading! Most of the stories in here were quite good. The stories by authors I was familiar with didn't disappoint and I even found a new author or 2 to look into!
What a great collection of authors and stories! All of these stories were just a perfect read. I really enjoyed the wide range of stories. Trisha Telp did a great job compiling different stories. All of these authors are already great writing, so to see all of these writers with more stories, only m...
