This is a fantastic selection of fable-like short stories. Very much like modern fairytales in the writing style, which is something that won't necessarily appeal to everyone but I really enjoyed. Some of my favourites were "Music for the Underworld", "Ilse, Who Saw Clearly", and "Braid of Days and Wake of Nights". The stories span a selection of subgenres, mostly sci-fi and fantasy.

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
