My Thoughts on the Book
This short story anthology was a fun read, especially if one is in search for women rescuing themselves in the fantasy genre. Some of the short stories could have worked well as novels as I sometimes wanted to wander in a specific universe a bit more, but that's a good thing. There were of course some short stories I liked more than others, though that is expected in a sense.
