Sentinels of Creation: Stories for William

by Robert W. Ross

Hello, my name is William Thorne. I am the Scion of Amber Light, and this is my story. Well, not my story exactly, more my compendium of the stories told to me by others. Within these pages you will here tales my Da told me of his early adventures with Mum, how he nearly got himself killed numerous times, and that's just because he upset Mum. Ha, I jest, well, mostly. It's never wise to make Mum angry. No one likes her when she's angry. She's a Scot, which means she's angry more times than not. Still, she loves her friends well, and Da even better. Seriously though, the book you are holding contains ten tales that took place somewhere between the years 1261 and 2047. Yeah, I know, that's a pretty big spread, but what can I say other than, Timey Wimey...Wibbly Wobbly. If you want to learn more about Kellan, Shannon, Meghan, Seramai, Maggie, and others, then settle in, make yourself comfortable, and get ready to enjoy... Stories for William

Reading the Argonauts of the Void book, William kept making references to stories from his past. Most of the stories mentioned were put together within this book.

I like the concept of having a compilation of bedtime stories William collected to give to his parents as a good buy gift. The issue I had was that the stories themselves felt rushed and at times, out of balance. For instance, the vampire story spent more time worring out the woes of time travel. and very little on the main reason for the travel itself. If felt that as soon as she arrived, she was already leaving. The premise for her travel was heartwarming for an undead sentinel of chaos. But ultimately it felt empty. I understand that these collected stories were meant to be recollections from a single source, William, so some details might have been vague, but from the readers perspective, the stories were too fragmented and quick to conclusion.

Still, I enjoyed the extra time in this universe and would not mind reading a collection of stories from Ariel's perspective.

I love how it was a collection of retold tales by their son, and the best part was none of the stories were in the seven books. I loved the gift from his goddaughter.
