I liked this anthology, even though it was a stretch in genre for me. Most of the authors write in Sci-Fi/ Fantasy so it was interesting getting exposed to this genre. I really enjoyed some of the stories more than others (Gillian Flynn was awesome, Michael Swanwick, Carrie Vaughn, Lisa Tuttlem and Connie Willis were my favorite stories). I would recommend this for anyone wanting to dip their toes in the realm of adult fantasy writers. It made me want to read those authors more and some stories I wished were way longer. The stories I didn't enjoy as much were clearly fantasy so it wouldn't be fair to say they were bad when it's just not my thing. Overall good book and enjoyable read.
