This is an anthology of 13 short stories which I found, not surprisingly, a mixed bag. I quite liked some of them, such as Esther M. Friesner's 'Roomies' and Eugie Foster's 'Honour is a Game Mortals Play'; but I didn't get the ending of some of the other stories.
Whether this was a factor of their being short stories or because I started off reading in a bit of a rush, I'm not quite sure. But I didn't hate any of them, so I will make time, some time, to go back and read them again at leisure.

A collection of bad fantasy short stories. I didn't like any of them. Unlike [book: Hags, Sirens, and Other Bad Girls of Fantasy], which I also read this week, some of the ideas behind the stories are at least inovative. The follow-through is crap, and the endings are, without exception, terrible. I'm ashamed that this was published.
