Dragons, magic, princesses of mighty kingdoms: elements of fantasy that have carried on throughout the many ages, and yet, may one day be forgotten. Enter and delve into the roots of fantasy, rediscovering the fantastic and exploring lost worlds. This is storytelling at its best. Neverland's Library is a collection of original works that will take you back to that moment when you first fell in love with the genre; featuring stories from writers across the spectrum, such as Mark Lawrence, Marie Brennan, R.S. Belcher, Miles Cameron, Don Webb, and more.… (meer)
This collection is difficult to review. I didn't dislike it, but on the whole, I found entertaining just half of the stories, and it took me really longer than usual to finish reading. I usually like anthologies because I can discover new authors, or read short stories by authors I know, in this case, Mark Lawrence. The introduction is both intriguing and ambitious and raises up your expectations, but the stories themselves are very different and of various lenght, this is a bit disorienting. Also, but this is a personal opinion, the best tales are in the second half of the book. The price is fair, the leitmotiv nice (look at the growing tree!), most of the authors are to be discovered, if you are looking for a no-frills fantasy anthology give this a try. Also, no gore and swearing that I can recall, that makes for a peaceful reading. ( )
