I read volume one of this fantasy short story anthology last year and really enjoyed it. It introduced me to Daniel Fox and I subsequently read, and loved, one of his full length novels (and need to read more). Volume two of Lace and Blade has a bit less swashbuckling, to my recollection, and a bit more gender fluidity than is my preference. That said, all of the stories were clever and captivating enough to hold my attention so that I never skimmed to get through anything. I definitely look forward to volume three. ( ) This is an anthology of short stories, generally with some elements of swashbuckling and romance, and often some bending of a gender role. Sherwood Smith's "Miss Austen's Castle Tour" is hilarious, and strikes me as perfectly in tune with Austen's viewpoint in "Northanger Abbey." Mary Rosenblum's "Dragon Wind" is a lovely tale of an imaginary ancient China. Madeleine Robins' "Writ of Exception" nicely turns marriages of convenience on their head. Tanith Lee's "The Pillow Boy of General Shu" is intelligent, heartfelt, and tragic. Francesca Forrest's "The Biwa and the Water Koto" is a lovely little tale of out-smarting a magical creature. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
