⭐This is an anthology so there are lots of interesting different styles and stories. A fun volume.https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01MAXHIMR/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0

⭐Loved all the stories, but especially L.J .Hachmeister’s too brief work. I would recommend this book to anyone.

⭐Love the cover, by James A. Owen. The stories are wonderful.

⭐I bought it and loved it. Keep up the good work.

⭐This is, despite being a themed anthology, wildly eclectic. It demonstrates just how wrong the stereotypes about the supposed straitjacket of genre fiction are. There are tragedies here, and comedies, and more straightforward adventure stories, all kinds…they just all happen to feature dragons. Is every story perfect? Every single one a five independently? Probably not. But what they become juxtaposed against each other is some thing special.My favorites:”Muse,” by Jody Lynn Nye. This story brings a living dragon, Ulm Drak, very much a high fantasy character, into the modern world as he teams with, Jamie Blandish, a decidedly unimpressed and brazenly disrespectful female author who’s arrived to help him write his autobiography because “she needed money to fix [her] motorbike.””The Dragon Went Down to Dyfi,” by Frog Jones presents the story of what happens when A dragon arrives and insists on competing in the Aberdyfi, the yearly contest to determine the greatest of the human bards. It becomes a powerful meditation on where beauty comes from.”The Final Fold,” by Josh Vogt, presents a magic based on origami, and lets a dragon catch a killer.”Manifest,” by Brandon M. Lindsay presents a glimpse of a world where dragons, like little Melly, provide the magical power to allow dragon artisans, like Torra, to create whatever they can visualize from the materials they provide. A story about the cost of creation and magic.In “The Essence,” Frank Morin takes the battle over dragons to the market place where guilds battle over the power dragon essences provide.In “His Greatest Creation,” Jace Killian writes a short story about fathers and daughters, and how their relationship can reach even across interstellar space. Oh, and dragons. This one hit me particularly hard, ’cause, well, I’m a father of three daughters…In “Shattered Pieces Swept Away,” Gregory D. Little creates my favorite, and for me the most fully-realized, fantasy world of all these dragon tales.”Black Tide’s Last Ride,” by Mike Jack Stoumbos re-imagines dragons as human-piloted interstellar vessels in what I found one to be a startling combination of the traditional–hey the dragons look, sound, etc. like dragons–and the very original: dragons as science-fiction interstellar vehicles!There are of course many other wonderful stories here including stories that reflect well on the various talents of New York Times best selling authors Brandon Sanderson, Todd McCaffrey, and David Farland. It’s a wonderful anthology.
