Fun collection of short stories! ( )

This is an entertaining collection of severn urban fantasy short stories, involving everything from a street wizard, Chinese guardian dragons, fairy tale retellings and a dysfunctional ancient Greek deity family (which was really rather sweet at the end). ( )

Another book of short stories. I love stories that take place in and around my town with recognizable landmarks. It makes things cosier. Each story was a finely wrought gem. ( )

I enjoyed this collection of contemporary fantasy short stories gathered from different anthologies that Tanya Huff contributed to. While all the stories were entertaining, nothing really stood out to me. I liked the introduction to the each story that discussed what inspired Ms. Huff to write that particular story. However, I think that I missed a central theme that the original anthologies had. It felt like I was reading only a small part of the whole picture and would have enjoyed them more within their original collections instead of removed from them. ( )

Nice! And weird, unsurprisingly, they are Huff stories. Widely varied in theme, style, world, feel but all interesting - and all more or less happy endings. I liked the Tarot one, and the dragon, and the two wizard ones - those I'd like to see more of. Very enjoyable, now I need to find her other collections... ( )
