Overall a far more enjoyable collection of stories than I anticipated. Ironically, one of my least favorites was the sole story I sought this anthology out to read in the first place (Cotillion, a rather indulgent, wish-fulfillment retelling of Tam Lin).

There were several good stories, but a few that stood out to me include:

Beauty by  Sherwood Smith
Medusa by  Michael Cadnum
Byndley by  Patricia A. McKillip
Hope Chest by  Garth Nix
