I really didn't like this much (1.5 stars rounded down), so I'm going to forgo my usual format and just say give a few sentences so I can move on.

In general I don't much care for short stories, and this book is essentially a collection of loosely related short stories. That might have been OK, but there is a lot of awful (or sometimes just weird) sex stuff.

I don't have a problem with sex in books, but it's not something I actively seek out either. Nothing in this book is very graphically depicted which would be fine except the kinds of sex that's depicted had me consider dropping the book all together (something I pretty much never do).

I'm stubborn though so I kept on. There was one part I actually enjoyed that centered around a pair of brothers who lived in a palace full of diamonds. I think that was maybe 2 or 3 chapters out of the whole book though so that leaves me very little enjoyment.

I'm not sure if there are other books by Tanith Lee I'd enjoy but this book pretty much put me off the rest of her work completely.
