I think they are mostly hit and miss for me. I still enjoy them for the stories I do love. :)Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02706544792110129160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-654172311147263272014-02-21T17:25:09.238-06:002014-02-21T17:25:09.238-06:00I'm currently reading this and completely agre...I'm currently reading this and completely agree with you. Some of the stories are pretty good, but the ones I'm not connecting with are dragging down the pace. Anthologies are almost always hit or miss with me. The only ones I've ever really loved are the Girls Night Out and Girls Night In.

I've read abut 4 of the author's represented here--but there are several more I'm curious about trying (like Tessa Gratton and Sarah Rees-Brennan) I'll have to think a bit more about picking this up--but I do like how you highlighted each story for us:) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026974627724672435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-22833964016267933642014-02-20T10:51:46.638-06:002014-02-20T10:51:46.638-06:00This doesn't sound like my type of book, altho...This doesn't sound like my type of book, although I love fairytales, and after your review, I know for sure that I won't be picking this up.

They key would have been so much better with a solid ending. I loved The raven prince too! :) Thinner than water creeped me out, haha. Father wants to marry his daughter, yuck! I agree that she was very clever. Funny that you didn't like Light it up, it was one of the better stories to me :p.<br /><br />I agree, I've read better anthologies. This one was just.. okay.

That short story was awesome. :) Thanks for stopping by. And stealing from sisters is for sure acceptable. If I had a sister I'd steal from her all the time. lolAprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08860029277147120060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-47591246241419777942014-02-20T05:50:27.203-06:002014-02-20T05:50:27.203-06:00It really was long!!

Unless my sister has it and then I steal it from her room, but I feel like that's acceptable.) XD I really like Jon Skovron's Man Made Boy and I LOVE Jackson Pearce! It's an amazing group of authors. :)CG @ Paper Furyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14954615708675952085noreply@blogger.com
