A fun and engaging collection of short stories. While I enjoyed some a lot more than others, they were all so diverse both in characters and mythos, making them interesting to read. Not to mention, regardless of subject, I found the writing style riveting. It hooks you in immediately.
Of all the short stories, my favorites are probably Good Girls and A Spell for Foolish Hearts.

All the folklore in this is great, but there's a special place in my heart for the magical girl story.
