A incredibly diverse and entertaining group of 13 stories that really run the gamut in both style and settings. They were an all an enjoyable read and short enough to pick up yourself in a tale then put down to work on something Great collection to keep you amused.
The variety of stories was very good there is a little of something for everyone in there. The varying authors each had a different voice adding to the depth of the book. I enjoyed that when I finished one story I could jump around in the book and find another one that might interest me.
I was really excited when I found this book, and hoped to uncover a nice little collection of quick-read fantasy stories. It was a great idea to bring different fantasy takes together and I absolutely love the cover. Unfortunately, none of these stories held my attention. I read the first one and it was cute, but it had some grammar errors and filler words that kept yanking me out of the story. I tried the others, but they didn't engage and move forward the way I'd hoped, instead offering a lot of backstory before any character movement started, and I lost interest pretty quick. I have no doubt that readers out there will love these, but they didn't hold my attention enough to continue. Purely subjective to my tastes.

3 stars.
I was instantly drawn into this book by the cover, it's just amazing. The stories were surprisingly good. Most short story collections have a mix of one's that worked and ones that I found, really did not. Luckily this one I found that I enjoyed them about the same amount. It was a good mix of different topics but all still fantasy. It was well done.
usually don't pick up short story collections simply because I don't know if I will enjoy it. Most times it's only one of two of the writers i like that are part of it so it's not worth it.
With this one i was drawn in by the cover. And to my surprise i actually enjoyed most o the stories . The stories were well placed and paced fantastically. I loved this collection.
