I was sad to see this is the very last Chicks anthology I had not read. Several stories include characters that have appeared in all the anthologies while there are many stand alone stories as well. As usual the stories ran the gamut of b movie grade to classic fantasy to referencing myths and classic literature. As always, very enjoyable and hilarious.
I read this one while quite sick and unable to concentrate. It was the perfect silly fun for the job!

These books are great fun. The stories and writing range from ok to great, but the whole idea is fun and different.
"Only the glimmerings of magic were there, and glimmerings without mastery were what made the cruelty." - Nancy Kress
