Review: Great characters, locations and descriptions really pull you in

I read only the short stories within this book and found them to be a refreshing take on fantasy. All taking place in modern times, the stories themselves have some form of legend within them, a few in places where you wouldn't quite expect. I very much enjoyed reading these and found they inspired my own creative instincts.My only concern was with the final story, in which the mother taking care of her children finds her way to freedom from the life they had been living. I wasn't quite comfortable with the ending. I ended up worried for them all more than anything and wasn't sure if the release into the imagination was more of a situation of passing on from this life...Great characters, locations and descriptions really pull you in. The reader will probably want to sit for a while and imagine even more coming from each story once they have finished it. A true way to fuel the imagination.Note: Though this book was a free gift from the author, the content of my review was in no way influenced by the gifting. The book speaks for itself and my review would have been worded just this way even if I'd gone out and bought it. I also give bonus points for Text To Speech enabling on Kindle format.... but that also wasn't a factor in the above review.
