“Erlin never underestimated women, with or without swords in their hands.”
--------------------
Whoever thought “fighting like a girl” is an insult, clearly did not fight a girl in their lives. Especially these girls!
Fight Like A Girl is a fast-paced, explosive collection of fiction and SFF short stories that delivers on its promise, where fighting like a girl means fighting fierce, smart, calculating, and always with sweat, blood, and the whole heart. Each story radiates bad-assery and fun, with fierce women fighting hard, whether its for their survival or glory, for riches or for love, each a force to be reckoned with. The quality of the stories in the whole collection is really quite high, which is a rare feat to achieve in anthologies.
(Also, in addition to some really cool stories and a wide range of styles, there is also a story set in Brighton, which always gets a bonus point from me.)
Overall a very good, and (going off of its Goodreads status) surprisingly underrated collection.
