*I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*I don't read a lot of short story compilations, but I'm glad I decided to read this one. All of the stories are about a magical place called the Hinterlands and the creatures that are from there. One of the reasons I picked this book is because I love a good fantasy story and it definitely delivered! I loved the people and places she has created. There is a wonderfully magical feel to her writing- it somehow manages to be whimsical and profound all at the same time. What usually bothers me about short stories is that I feel like the story is incomplete when I finish, but this book was a little different. While there are definitely still things I want to know, a lot of the stories did have a sense of completion about them- a moral was learned, or an unlikely friendship begun. Plus this is only book one! I would definitely like to read more in this anthology- her writing is really beautiful. 5 stars
