This was a decent collection of stories. Nothing stood out as great but nothing was bad, either. There were one or two that I could have done without (e.g. a story from the perspective of a planter-class soldier for the CSA that never in any way acknowledged slavery and didn't actually benefit form its setting in any meaningful way to justify it). Some felt a bit too YA for me. But there were a few that I thought pretty clever and made me laugh and one or two that filled me with emotion, which is pretty much what I want out of a fairy story.
