What drew me to the book, (besides its title), were the number of amazing authors who contributed. Having read and enjoyed books by more than half of them, I felt obligated to read and enjoy this as well. And I did.
My personal favorites were Princess Prettypants, by Meg Cabot, (although to be fair, this wasn't so much fantasy, more chic lit-ish), and the story by Diana Peterfreund, who I had never heard of until I read this book. Princess Prettypants was classic Meg Cabot-I would have been able to recognize it as hers withough knowing. Diana Peterfreund's came with an entirely new approach to the whole unicorn thing.
As a lover of rainbows and princesses, I was not very excited for any of the zombie stories. All in all, any story with a zombie-live person relationship got a 10 on the ick factor, no matter how good it was. Many of the stories got a little too gory, and even though my stomach could handle it, it didn't really want to.
However, in my opinion, the real issue is that two nonexistent totally different creatures cannot be compared to each other. One is dead people coming back to life to eat us and the other is a horse with a horn on its head. In order to argue that one is better than the other, they need to have some inherent similarities. Since they don't, every argument is null and void and I will shut up now.
5 stars. Look up the authors and you'll see why.
