Book Echoes of the arcane lord New Eyes makes us wonderhow would you react if the color blue disappeared from the world and no one knew whyWord of warning be prepared to cry while you read a few of them because they definitely pull at the heart strings The collection features 21 different works of fiction and poetry and is definitely worth the read English This was such a great collection I genuinely loved every story and the few poems that were included Super well done glad I found this one Recommended definitelyfor stories full of emotion and humanity for stories that make you think after each one for stories that make you reflect on what it means to be human for better or worseThoughts Anthologies or short stories can be tough for me but this collection is a shining example of how well they can work Every single story was a winner Every single one Seriously I finished one and though that was great that might be my favorite so far And then I d think the same after the next and next The author s notes at the start made me laugh and rang true when he noted that he found each story to be bittersweet while his partner just called them all depressing xD Both are true There s a lot of beauty in the pain somehow though like even when there s suffering there s also hope behind it Admittedly sometimes the hope turns into the suffering because what greater pain can there be than unfulfilled hope Anyway point here is that each story taps into that deep hearted primal feeling of some kind that connects all people through world and time. Echoes of the Arcane epub reader Don t get it in your head that these are all very heavy serious stories though While their topics are often fairly somber the way they re written is eminently approachable They don t feel lofty or holier than though thankfully They just made me feel alive and grateful and yes sometimes a bit sad But even the sadness was nice in that it was a soft sadness a reminder that I m here kind of sadness rather than the drowning sorrow that crops up in life sometimes. Echoes of the arcaned eq Overall I fucking LOVED this collection I am extremely glad that I happened to see a random silly post by the author that had a kind of humor I appreciated so much I bought his book because if a short message could make me laugh like that surely I d enjoy his longer form writing While it s a very different tone it certainly did generate strong reactions still Come to this one for stories that balance loss and hope in a way that kind of breaks your heart and makes you keep moving forward English This book is a collection of short stories and poems The stories range from literary sci fi to fantasy Every story has a theme or something to learn from For instance Clean Slate is a sci fi about a man who s struggling in life and doesn t think highly of himself only to learn that luck isn t just purely for the smart and wealthy it s also for the people who are there at the right time Glamour is a fantasy vampire story about revenge and Beneath the Ice is about family and addiction The poems are a fun add They re all very thought provoking. Book Echoes of the arcane Overall this is a nice collection of stories and poems if you re not into reading a long novel or if you just want to sample a variety of different types of literature English
