This book was full of shockingly bad short stories.

This is a mostly excellent collection of short fantasy stories that primarily feature women! There was also some diversity in terms of non-Western fables and settings as well as queer pairings, which of course means bonus points! I skipped the Elric story because it was dragging and Queen Louisa seemed nonsensical, but The Thunder Cat and Ku Mei Li were excellent! I also liked the Viriconium Knights enough that I went searching for other books in the same series.

The Prodigal Daughter was another success and when I searched for other works by Jessica Amanda Salmonson, I found the Amazons II anthology which was absolutely fantastic! C.J. Cherryh's finishing story, Sea Change, was beautiful and made me instantly go look for more of her work. I love this anthology and highly recommend it.

These stories describe eerie beauty and tragedy in the tone of whispers, rumour and half-forgotten legend. This series reminds me why I love this genre.
