I've read several of the anthologies in this series, and I always really *want* to like them - I like the concept, and I very much appreciate the attitude... but then I seem to never really love the stories.

(Particularly when you consider I just *knew* I'd hate these books when I grudgingly s...

I have been loving this series! LOVING! However, I will say this has been the weakest entry in the series. I still love Enola, but some of aspects of her character are starting to get just a wee bit stagnant. Also, with every single installment I've mentioned the weakness of the mysteries and, for m...
