"Quantum Diamond" was not only a fun Rumplestiltskin retelling, but also reminded me of the Star Trek episode "The Squire of Gothos." "Iceheart" kind of reminds me of a novel I once read called Far Seer which features saurian instead of avian aliens, but either way playing around with non humanoid races is fun.

One of the greatest feats of Disney animation is the fight with the dragon in Sleeping Beauty. Seeing that recreated here, along with a clockwork menagerie reminiscent of E. T. A. Hoffman, almost had me jumping up and down with excitement. And if Miss Campbell has not seen Les Contes d'Hoffman she should find act 1 with the automaton.

I forgot that I had snagged this and put books on hold at the library so updates may be sporadic. But, opening with a sci-fi "Bluebeard's Castle" is a bold move.
