Appartient à la sérieBeing[s] in Love (10)
A Being(s) in Love Anthology Very little is known about seers—those individuals, both human and being, with the power to know both what could have been and what is yet to come. Seers prefer it that way. Some of them run from their visions. Others call themselves artists or authors instead of oracles. But even in the most seemingly innocent of their creations, the truth will out, and lessons will be learned. Two storytellers of different eras and vastly different temperaments weave fantastic tales of magic and romance for their enthralled audiences: A young prince avoids his betrothed and the curse that binds them. A witch uses his magic to help the man he loves court someone else. A warrior betrayed by his lord finds himself in the company of a mysterious stranger. A half-fae is doomed to be sent to the Faery Court unless he can find someone to love him. A lonely outcast finds himself drawn to a forbidden forest. A bookseller at a masked ball wonders if he should pursue a handsome prince. A dragon attempts to woo a beast. A shy servant is given one night to reach for what he wants. Fairy tales that reveal more about the tellers, and their audiences, than they might want. Being(s) in Love: Magical creatures known as beings emerged from hiding amid the destruction of the First World War. Since then they've lived on the margins of the human world as misunderstood objects of fear and desire. Some are beautiful, others fearsome and powerful. Yet for all their magic and strength, they are as vulnerable as anyone when it comes to matters of the heart. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

In order to enjoy this collection, you must love fantasy and love. It helps to have read one or more of the Beings in Love series, as well.
"Little Prince" is another chapter in the 'stupid boys, why don't they talk?' trope. Cute, but eh.
"Clematis" is intolerably sweet and made me cry at the end. Big thumbs-up.
"Martin the Wrong" This one is quiet and beautiful, and I loved it.
"A Lord for the Bear-Prince" short, rather direct, very sweet, and beautiful.
"The One That Would Be" Cute.
"Tales Before Bedtime, Retold" is part of the framing story.
"A Charm for Confidence" Loved this one.
"Three Masquerades" enjoyable denial & (re)acceptance
"A Beast and a Beauty" straightforward despite wariness. Sweet.
"A Wolf's Faithfulness" This one is great!
"Tales Before Bedtime" The last of the framing story. Still lost. Still don't care.
"Aphrodite's Favorite"My favorite, too. Excellent. Way to end a collection, author! ( )
