review 1: The Mainspring of His Heart, The Shackles of His Soul' I would give 3 stars. I enjoyed reading about Jax and his bittersweet ending. I just wish there was more, I would love you read other stories about this would that Ian Tregillis created for this short story.The Blade of His Plow- 2 stars. I didn’t really get this story, maybe it’s because I war stories have never held my attention. Cinderella City- ill also have to give this one 2 stars. I think if I had read Seanan McGuire’s books, this story would have been enjoyable. I spent the whole time trying to fill in the gaps. This story is about the city of San Francisco and she wakes up as a human I still don’t get why or how.Tumulus- 3 stars. this story is about Jeanine and Joseph, Jeanine raised the dead to ask ... morefor help with conceiving a baby.
review 2: This one promises to be good: an anthology of beings attempting to transition from their original forms to that of being human. I picked this one up primarily for the promise of a short story with Tim Waggoner's 'Matt Richter', but the more I perused the stories collected, the more I became intrigued; Steampunk robot, vampire, angel, even a statue, all wishing to become human for at least a little while. And might not want to switch back. These are going to be more than just simple Pinocchio Syndrome stories. And besides Tim Waggoner's piece, there's also Jean Rabe, Laura Resnick, Jody Lynne Nye, and Jim C Hines contributing. less

Surprisingly for an anthology, all but one of the stories was outstanding. Excellently imaginative.

Reading about the living personification of San Francisco was a bit trippy

Read this because of Seanan's story, which was pretty good.
