It was... an interesting read. I can't say I didn't like it, I did. Some stories more than others as in every anthology that exist. But they were very unique and if it's not a bad thing in itself, they were sometimes puzzling. A few times, I've needed to go back a bit, re-read a few sentences. But one thing I've really loved is all those mythical creatures that we see differently.
The Tooth Fairies: tooth fairies being related to vampires, that's a first! I kinda rooted for them and find the end a bit sad. 2.5Glamour: that was one of the puzzling ones. An interesting take on the changeling myth. 3
See a Fine lady: that was one of my favorites! Picture this: a worker in Target is the only one to see a unicorn (and the woman on it) who just enteres the shop. I love silly unicorns. 4Or Perhaps Up: another puzzling one. But here, I think it's supposed to. Not sure what myth is here. I'm guessing some kind of water spirits. More atmospheric. Love the characters though. 2.5
Don't Let Go: more straightforward, it's about Irish myths on the Isle of Man with a meet-cute love story. Sweet. 3.5The Loophole: another favorite. Never heard of the boo hag (or Breath Witch). It was interesting. I also love the bar when she goes where we can all kind of creatures. Love the twist at the end. 4
The Last Home of Master Tranquil Cloud: another favorite. I've always loved kitsune tales, and this one had a bit of a twist. 4Yout Two Better Halves: one of my least favorites. Too absurd for me and I've never been a fan of “Choose your own adventure” books. 1.5
Take only photos: very sweet story where the fairies are not the main subject, but the friendship the main character forms with a coworker. As I'm also socially awkward, I've related so much with the mc. 4.5Old Twelvey Night: another puzzling one. Dunno about the myth either. (Edit: long live google, I now know a bit about the Apple Tree Man). But I liked the characters and the end. 2.5
The Seal's Woman Tale: selkie myth mixed with trolls and feys and war. Too sad for me. 1.5The Storyteller: pretty much what the title says. Cute, but nothing more. 2.5
Summer Skin: predictable, but still interesting. Don't remember on what myth it's based on though. 2.5Colt's Tooth: another take on the evil tooth fairy. 2
