Glimpses

Multiple Authors

4.5 out of 5 Stars

Glimpses is a collection of 16 short fantasy stories, each written by a different author. Spanning modern fantasy to high fantasy, there something to fit whatever you’re in the mood for. There’s the more character focused story “Reboot” that follows a woman on her train ride to work. But there’s also plenty of action and battles in nearly every story, as well as moments of humor.

The stories, overall, were well-written, although a few had a clunky flow. And a lot of the stories have good, detailed descriptions. While I didn’t have a favorite, there were some that I would definitely like to read more of. They had good characters and interesting lore of the story’s world. There were two I found particularly intriguing. “The Wolf of Wool Street” is about an alchemist who helps a werewolf hide in his home to protect him from being killed by the Guardians of The Faith. “Forces of Magic” follow a young man as he is tested for magic, and he hopes to go to the same order of magic that his father was in before he died saving a village from dark magic users.

Since there are a few stories that could have been better, I’m rating this book 4.5 out of 5 stars. If you like fantasy stories, you’ll certainly like this collection, and maybe you’ll even find your new favorite writer.
