It is difficult to approach a mythological story type in a wholly inventive fashion. While some of the stories in this collection attempt this invention, there are several errors in grammar and mechanics that distract from the potential for authenticity of voice. It is difficult to achieve the suspension of disbelief required for fantasy and science fiction when pronouns don't match the antecedent or the verb matches not the subject but the noun in the prepositional phrase. I realize these are not the elements of story that make novels or collections of stories great in terms of story-telling, but in terms of expression and eloquence, these become too distracting to be able to fully enjoy the stories. I think with further editing and a closer eye for standard mechanics, I would be more likely to rate the collection higher.
