As this is a book of short stories, I will try to say something about each story... The first story, A Serca Tale, I found myself thinking that everything that needed to happen to move the plot along happened because of some kind of spell.  I was upset that this would be the thing to push the plot along.  There could have been more to the story of a woman trying to get out of an arranged marriage, but I felt more like this was just the quick throwing together of two people.  There was some good story in it, I just wasn't captivated.The second story, King Orfeigh was very interesting to me.  I found it touching that a man would do all he could to find the woman he loved, that he would give up everything in order to be with her again.  The journey of how he does this, and why, is the interesting part, so I won't reveal it.Happily Ever Awhile is literally a Cinderella story, but it is honest and real.  What happens after the wedding?  How does family and the court and happiness blend together into something that is manageable and all within reach?  It's both heartwarming and a heart breaker, which isn't as unbalanced as it sounds.
