Fantastic horizons of liberty and freedom await us- When we let loose our imaginations to see them. In this third volume of The Clarion Call, fifteen authors weave stories across a myriad of wondrous worlds, sharing visions of heroism, freedom, rebellion, and sacrifice. In this collection of liberty themed fantasy are tales of: Technology imbued with magic; Mythical beasts of the Air, Earth, and Water; Personal quests and world changing upheaval; Purpose, choice, responsibility, and discovery. These are the stories of imaginations Unbound.
I finally got around to reading this one and really enjoyed (some) of the stories. There were quite a few engaging stories, but a few that had me turning the pages faster to get to the next one.
I liked the take on Valkyries and Furies in “Black Moon” by Ronel Janse van Vuuren. The way she captured the current political climate in South Africa felt realistic despite the fantasy setting. (Or maybe I'm reading more into her being South African and what I've read in the news...)
I also liked Christa Conklin's Merfolk and pirates in "Moontail".
As a whole, though, the themes of anarchy didn’t sit well with me.
