Marginally less good than the two previous anthologies I read before this, but still solid writing. Both Lynne Kurland's A Whisper of Spring and Sharon Shinn's When Winter Comes seem to be a part of a bigger novel and so one comes away with the sense of wanting something more. Claire Delacroix's The Kiss of the Snow Queen teetered on the edge of corny but somehow managed to keep its equilibrium. Sarah Monette's A Gift of Wings is an intriguing new world that piqued my interest for more. All in all a good read.
