Ahhh I finished 'The Death of Aigullion' and need 'The House of Binding Thorns' to find out what happens to Huyen. Ngoc Bich, the Dragon Empress is everything. I just love how this prequel focused on the outsiders and the dragon empress holding their own ground among the fallen angel houses in Paris.
I picked up this short anthology for the above story but also enjoyed the playful take on Shakespeare's witches in 'Goddess at the crossroads' by Kevin Hearne.

This short story collection has three stories set in previously written worlds and one in a new setting. Kevin Hearne’s story is set in his Iron Druid series and has Atticus telling his apprentice the story of how he met Shakespeare. So this is a perfectly good sample for the series. I hadn’t read Laura Bickle before but after reading this story that is also set in a multi book series, it left me wanting to know more about the world and find out about the characters. The Aliette de Bodard story is set as a prequel story that needs no info about the novel’s universe it is set in. The last story by Jacqueline Carey seems to be a standalone story and the world is fleshed out enough that I would like to see more in this setting to find out how the society came to be.
All in all, a good collection of stories and well worth the time and money to track down and read. I already have my copy on order.

I bought this book for the Iron Druid Chronicles story with Shakespeare (because talking doggies!), but I really enjoyed all of the stories in it, especially the one about Detroit, and the final one. Definitely one of my favorite short story collections I've ever read.
