Review:
As always when reading an anthology it
can be a bit hit or miss. In my opinion there are always a couple
standout stories within an anthology. These would be the stories that
stand above the rest. They've got that something that keeps you
thinking about them long after you've finished the entire book. At
times it is a character or a compelling story. Ideally it is
everything, start to finish that keep you thinking about it and
looking for more work by that particular author.
In my case, I would have to admit that
in this particular anthology, the best was front and center at the
very beginning of the book. My particular favorites were the first
two stories for many reasons. Plot, characters and overall
consistency.
Beautifully Destroyed by Gracie
Wilson deserves special mention for touching on such a serious topic
with respect and without once making light of the aftermath that a
person suffers. This story touched me in so many ways that I can't
even go in to and I hope that others reading it get as much from it.
The Prison Guard's Son by Ursula
Sinclair is also another favorite from this anthology. Sinclair shows
a young man that he is far more than his parents' sins made him out
to be. That he is deserving of love and his own happily ever after.
I had issues with the rest of the
stories in this anthology, each for different reasons. Whether it was
too many errors for my liking or characters that I just could not
find myself liking at all no matter how hard I tried, I just was not
clicking with them. Now this is not to say that others wouldn't enjoy
these stories. Please take it for what it's worth... the opinion of
this one reviewer and nothing else. It was an enjoyable read, the
first two stories alone made this an anthology worth getting.
