These stories based on classic fairytales are imaginative, daring, innovative, and break the convention of the poor damsel in distress who waits to be saved by a prince. These ladies take the initiative, and save themselves and others in the process.
The print version of this anthology has a few formating and page layout problems. For instance, some paragraphs are cut before the sentence is finished, which may have to do with the type of document in which the stories were originally submitted (this happens a lot with .rtf files). Nothing that cannot be easily avoided for future Fantasia Divinity anthologies with an extra review of the final PDF before it is sent to the printer, to avoid distractions that can take credit away from the stories.
