An anthology that turns the stereotypical image of the leather bikini clad fantasy heroine on its head. Their chainmail isn’t for ceremonial purposes or male wish-fulfilment. The women in these stories are fast, tough, skilled and smart.There’s a lot of humour here, from warrior women that melt their chainmail bras in protest to impracticality of such a garment to gladiators taking their children’s class for a field trip to their workplace on career day.Like any anthology I found some of the stories to be more enjoyable than others but there was really only one that didn’t entertain me at all (and that was due to my inability to connect with the story line rather than due to poor writing). Overall, a lot of fun, light reading here.There are at least three more books in the Chicks anthology series and I will definitely be reading them all.-Lynn
