Jane and Law remain particular favorites of mine, so of course I loved getting more of their stories. I also really liked the Pony and Stormsong-centered shorts. Olivia's new story KILLED me, because she's so alone and I love her and aaaaaaaaah!
One thing that surprised me was how very much I enjoyed the non-canon twin encounters, especially Maynard's! So thank you, Wen Spencer, for throwing those in!

Exceeded expectations. The stories were good, and it had an arc in the history of Elfhome.

Held up to rereading.

Great fun! I didn't love it as much as the full-length novels, because the short story format by its very nature kept kicking me back out of the Elfhome world and into the real world. (One of my favorite things about Spencer's writing is how immersive it is.) However, these are all great additions to the world.
I highly suggest reading this after reading the first 4 novels, though, as there are major spoilers for the books in some (most?) of the stories.
