It&#8217;s a challenging undertaking&#8230; the creativity, imagination, and remarkable associations put forth by this group of authors is mind-blowing entertainment, not to mention food for thought. I truly enjoyed each story on its own, and for that reason, i&#8217;m recommending this anthology to fans of the magical, the mystical, and the elemental.
