Dragon-Ten Tales of Fiery Beasts, edited by Rayne Hall- Book Review


This picture came from the screen of my laptop once I completed the book.

 Disclosure: I received this as part of an advertorial

I just got through reading this most intriguing book. It seems to fit in my household rather well, since both my husband and I are both dragons according to the Chinese Zodiac, that you see on the place-mats in Chinese restaurants.So it made the book a little special in our household.

Each story in this anthology style book, is unique unto itself. You go from a pink dragon, to a multi fall colored dragon, to a sparkling blue dragon, and so on. 

This is another book, that would be great for older teenagers and adults on a fall evening, with a mug of cider, listening to some soft music or the wind blowing.

If you have a vivid imagination, that has a permanent reservation at the imagination cinema and continually runs, with each story you will get a mini movie going with each page you read in this book.

The one thing I missed with this book, is having some artists renderings of the dragons, which would had been pretty cool to go with each story, so you could see each of the dragons mentioned in the stories.

Cogwheels-Ten Tales of Steampunk, edited by Rayne Hall- ebook review:

This book is a mini cinema in your head. With each of the stories, you are treated to an adventure. 

When reading this I would recommend this, I would recommend reading this in chunks over several days. I read this in one day, and by the end of the day was pooped out. ( but I have 5 dogs keeping me busy too.)

As you read each story, they transported you to a different time, and different place in history. 

For me this was my first time in reading the genre of steampunk. From what I have read, I am looking forward to seeing what is next, from each of the author's that were featured in this anthology of stories.

If you have the chance pop on over to amazon, and pick this up. This book would make a great fall/ Halloween read for this October.
