Judgment Based On Books Never After (Otherworld/Sisters of the Moon #6.5 (The Shadow of Mist))

I only read this for Sharon Shinn's story, The Wrong Bridegroom, which was SHEER PERFECTION. I loved that it had all the elements of a traditional fairytale -- the beautiful princess, the dashing suitor, the wicked stepmother -- but turned the concepts completely on their head. The romance had elements of Emma/Mr Knightley to it, which was glorious. I love a heroine whom you can't help liking, even though you know she has an awful lot to learn, and Olivia was exactly that. The supporting

Surprisingly good.

An anthology of four much-too-obvious short stories about women and marriage. The wrong man at the time, the right one in the end.The only reason I've bumped it up to a "3" is the twists...thank god the poor writing in this at least tried a tiny bit...Series:"Shadow of Mist" (Otherworld / Sisters of the Moon, 6.5)The StoriesLaurell K.

Laurell Hamilton...Elinore, a nobleman's daughter who wants entrance back into the king's court betrothes his daughter to a scummy, elderly, pervert earl... before their wedding can be announced, she says she will go to 'Save Prince True'... the current king's elder brother, who 50 years earlier displeased a sorceress with his arrogance, so she enslaved him until a woman's art could win the prince his freedom... the many who tried died or were never seen again...

4 mostly short stories. Think empowered women fairy tales. Not a bad story in the bunch. Good quick read.

I had the pleasure of chatting with Marjorie M Liu awhile back after her interview and really enjoyed an insight into her writing habits. During her interview she mentioned this book among her new releases and I thought it would be a good time to check her work and some of the other authors I haven't read yet (Shinn and Galenorn).Although the spine labels this as urban fantasy to appeal to the UF/PR crowd, I'd say this was more fantasy/fantasy romance which is one of my top fave genres. Only one

Surprisingly strong anthology (considering my expectations). I only picked it up for the Shinn story, but ended up reading all 4. It was generally pro-women, with twists that had the female leads taking their destinies into their own hands. TBH I found Shinns story a bit weak, since the MC was irritating and i couldnt understand how weirdly ignorant she was of her fathers character. Or why he didnt beat her, given that character. I also was underwhelmed by Galernorns novella, and found the
