What a beautiful, powerful anthology! Ever single story inside these pages is so full of hope and magic and beauty, every character so wonderfully crafted, every word so beautifully picked.
From the exciting trials in Ari of the Air, to the heroic quest in The River of Dreams; and the cleverly named and written The Bell Trolls, and the sweet story of a writer in The Library Door; from the heartbreaking tale of The Dying Forest, to a villains rise in The Villian…all the way to the haunting, stunning Forget Not Hope…you cannot help but get lost in the pages. The authors published in this anthology are so talented, and I cannot wait to hopefully read more from them in the future!
Definitely recommend this to fantasy lovers and middle grade to YA readers…please go read this anthology! (Please!!!)
Such a stunning anthology, a true blessing to read!❤️

This was such a fun read! I really enjoyed all the stories, and especially how different and unique they all were. From battles to hope filled elegies to sweet moments between characters, every story had something new to offer, and the foreword was a beautiful introduction as well!
I would recommend this to fantasy lovers of all ages, or those looking to get into the genre!
