This is a really fun collection of fantasy short stories. They are set all over—from the Round Table (as in the title) to the ocean to relatively "normal" high fantasy settings. They're inspired by Camelot, classic fairy tales, and the Trojan War. And, though I enjoyed some more than others, the collection as a whole was a lot of fun: often funny, sometimes introspective, and a really great example of how a good author can do a lot with a few words.

Favorite stories include "Slow Poison," "A Woman's Work...," and "All Things Being Relative." I think I've read the titular "Nights of the Round Table" somewhere before, and so while I still enjoyed it, it didn't have the same impact it might have if it was new to me. (

An entertaining collection of short stories that all have some unusual or clever twist. Beautifully written. (

This is another half-and-half reread, but the ones that were familiar I hadn't read in some time. In fact, the last story in the book is one I'd read long ago and lost - I'd forgotten who it was by, let alone the title - so I'm delighted to rediscover Slow Poison. There are several stories with very similar themes - various queens, evil and otherwise, dealing with challengers. But they do differ, enough that each one is interesting. I also very much enjoyed her quick intro to each story - a bit about how each came to be written (mostly, though not entirely, for themed anthologies) and what Huff thought of each. (
