I have not yet read the Wicked Lovely series by Melissa Marr, so the best thing I can say about this anthology is that, the short stories have actually tantalised me enough to go and check out the series itself. While the other stories were too short and abrupt too actually warrant a rating, the 3.5 stars are only for the detailed yet short stories relating to her own series, that were well written and informative to a Non-wicked Lovely Readers. I got this book because I love fairy tales! Unfortunately, this book was mainly about faeries with a few non-faery stories peppered in, and those were the stories I actually liked. The faery stories do not make sense because they are taken out of context from her wicked lovely series (which I have never read before!) My favorite story out of all of them was the one about the selchies! It really drew me in and was a captivating spin on merman lore.
What do You think about Faery Tales & Nightmares (2012)?
Last story was good. Whole book was very good, though I did not get the point of some of the stories
