It's rare to find an anthology without a bad or at least mediocre story, and this one is a great collection. Patricia McKillip's Gorgon in the Cupboard was amusing but also touching, about an artist looking for his muse. Lynn Kurland's Tale of the Two Swords was my favorite, about a feisty magical heroine who runs away when her father betroths her to a cruel older man, and unknowingly meets the son of the king. Sharon Shinn's Fallen Angel is as good as all her Samaria tales, with a nice little twist in the end; and Claire Delacroix's An Elegy for Melusine, about a half-fey who wagers with a human and gets more than she bargains for, turns out to be surprisingly poignant.
