I have recently found author Emily Martha Sorensen and am loving her writing, so when I was offered a chance to read this short story anthology, I couldn’t resist.
MY REVIEW
These sixteen short stories will have you traveling, flying high, using magic, and having action and adventure in bite sized pieces. We have some science fiction, some fantasy and some life lessons, with choices to be made.
Many of them are fairy tale remakes with morals to the stories that may leave you thinking…
A few of my favorites:
Beauty and the Brave: A fun twist on the Ugly Duckling. The young female dragon becomes the hero.
The Dragon and the Santa: What would you think if you heard a clatter on the roof top at Christmas, only to see Santa claus and a dragon? The ending…oh so good, you bad bad dragon.
Invoice: Ya gotta read that yourself. It is a HA HA HA morbid moment.

MY REVIEWS FOR EMILY MARTHA SORENSEN
Oh, these sound so fun. That cover is intriguing too. Glad you enjoyed some short stories, Sherry!
I’ve been reading quite of few lately, mostly because of the authors. I do enjoy them, but I really like to get into a deep, long story the most.
I just read “On the way through the woods” by Emily Martha Sorensen and thoroughly enjoyed it. I laughed through the short story and it made me want to read more about the characters. Thank you for this review so I know to check out Emily’s anthology. I love her Dragon’s Egg series!
I have been loving her Dragon Egg series too. Just got the next one and can hardly wait to start reading it. Haven’t read On the way through the woods…have to check that out.
