I enjoyed the mixture of old and new stories within this anthology. I found the use of the alphabet as inspiration for the stories to be unique. While this in some ways might limit the stories, for the most part it works. I was introduced to a number of new authors through this anthology, some of whom I plan to read more from. Overall, a nice variety of stories.Esta crítica foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Críticos do LibraryThing. 26 exceptional short stories of the Fae and their kind to keep you riveted to your seat. Each story more entertaining than the last, I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite amongst them. Especially a good choice of book for any who enjoy fairy tales but maybe don't have a lot of time to dedicate to one story.*I received a copy of this book for free. The review is my own, honest and unsolicited. Esta crítica foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Críticos do LibraryThing. This is Poise And Pen Publishing’s 6th book in the Alphabet Anthologies series. This one is 26 different stories about fairies. Each story is influenced by a letter of the alphabet, A-Z. What the word is not shown until the end of each tale.Of course I gravitate towards this collection because ...fairies duh...they are only my favorite magical beings. Many of the stories were retellings of well-known fairy tales. Including the first story which is a retelling of Sleeping Beauty and later a new take on The Emperor’s New Clothes. I enjoyed the few retellings but the newer stories were not as memorable. I found many of the stories hard to concentrate on and lost interest many times. Maybe this is because I read as an ebook. I find ebooks harder to stay interested in. I would definitely try another of the Alphabet Anthologies. I found them clever and many times trying to guess the word the stories were based on were surprising and never the word I would first guess. Esta crítica foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Críticos do LibraryThing. Decent collection of tales that I enjoyed. I like anthologies as it introduces me to new authors. If you like unique fairy tales you should like this book. Esta crítica foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Críticos do LibraryThing. So I may be a little slow, but it took me a couple of stories to realize that I was reading an anthology (obviously did not read the front pages) but once I caught on to the concept of alphabet and fairies, I was hooked. Not just hooked but impressed with the varied level of knowledge of the "supposed" realm of elves. Of course some of the short stories were better than others but in total, I would give it a boisterous thumbs up to read. Nice to see stories about the non-goodie goodie elves also. A good mix of stories and elf types. I think my favorite would be the WWII elf and the consequences of real names (read about her and find out). Good book and loads of fun. Definite keeper. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
