I admit that I did not buy this book, but rather borrowed it from the library based on some reviews that I read. With that being said, I was rather pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the stories in this anthology. All of the stories had heroines who were trying to empower themselves and trying to figure out their lives and choices.
Can He Bake a Cherry Pie? - by Laurell K Hamilton, was okay, not the best that I have read from her, but it was entertaining. As other reviewers have stated, it was the shortest of the bunch, but that did not detract from the story.
The Shadow of Mist by Yasmine Galenorn, was another that I thought was a good story. I feel like this may be a part of an established series? I felt like I could have used more of something with this one though - not sure what. This was my first story from this author - I would be willing to try another.
The Tangleroot Palace by Marjorie Liu, was good as well. The story had the right amount of sweetness and adventure. Liu has become a favorite of mine - and I have enjoyed her books.
The Wrong Bridegroom by Sharon Shinn was the last in this anthology and my favorite one. I enjoyed this one immensely. I felt like it was the right length - it was engaging, and I loved all the characters. I will definitely be looking for more of this author.
