When Magic Calls: A Collection of Modern Fairy Tales by Caitlin Berve
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I couldn’t get into a lot of the stories near the beginning and middle of the anthology, but the last story was AMAZING! I also loved the idea of a fairy tale museum, although some of the tales (and it could be reader error, for I don’t know all fairy tales) I had a struggle finding which fairy tale it was a variation of.
Overall, I enjoyed the at-times lyrical prose as well as the varied lengths of the included stories. I also appreciated how magic was a part of every story, given that was the title.
