Some of these stories are interesting. I especially enjoyed Dragon Moon, which was super sweet, even though I normally am not a big fan of short stories.
This was a very interesting anthology! I enjoyed the mix of science fiction and fantasy stories as well as a few other genres I haven't read before. (I honestly thought there was going to be more science fiction oriented stories, even though I realize the description says the anthology has multiple genres.) My favorite story was definitely Dragon Moon. This story just hit me right in the heart and was a little teary after reading it. However, I also really enjoyed Recalled from the Red Planet an...
When author/publisher Travis Perry contacted me for a review, he was uncertain of my response, as it seemed I might not be interested in his appointed genre. I told him that while speculative fiction was a new review genre for me, that I would be delighted to do a review ... and I’m so glad I agreed to read “Mythic Orbits Volume 2,” edited and published by Travis, which highlights the best short stories available in science fiction, fantasy, and related speculative genres like paranormal and lit...
I had one problem with this book, and that was I wanted each story to continue! Each was well written and drew me in immediately. A voracious reader and a writer myself, I can often see where a story will go, which makes being surprised by a turn of events special for me. And yet, within this anthology of eleven stories I was surprised, astonished and bewildered – delightfully so - in turns. I highly recommend it.
Why do I love this book so much???? Because it has my first published short story! One of the first complete short stories I wrote back when I was eighteen, originally titled UnChosen Girl, but now Unerella.Pretty much all of the stories in this book are sci-fi. Now, I'm not really a science fiction person, but I did enjoy most of the stories in the book. Here's a brief review for each story: LIVING HISTORY: (Sci-Fi) In which humans are at the bottom of the classes and Sam must find a job to sur...
Yes I am a contributor, but as long as I do not plug myself it should be alright.Mythic Orbits Volume 2, is a short fiction anthology that was meant to find the best speculative fiction written by Christians. In my humble opinion it succeeded and then some. Wait that could be considered bragging, let me try a different track.I have heard some people say that they don't like to read anthologies. They only like novels. I think this is a continuity issue for them. Like if they're reading to fast an...
Disclaimer up front: I received a free copy of Mythic Orbits 2 for review purposes. All opinions are my own!*As I've said before, reviewing anthologies is a bit difficult, because it's the rare anthology where you like all of the stories. So, I'm going to start with the stories I liked, and move on from there.My favorites in this collection were:-"Her Majesty's Guardian," by Donald S. Crankshaw. A lot of the stories I've read recently have set themselves apart by having a big twist at the end. T...
I haven't read very many anthologies, but this book definitely made me want to read more. It was easy to sit down and quickly read one story in the middle of my busy day without having to interrupt the plotline because I'm not finished. And each story is captivating enough to hold my attention for an entire sitting. A story has to be pretty enthralling to keep my reading for more than a few pages at a time.Each one was enjoyable and thought provoking at the same time. It pulled me out of my worl...
