Twice Upon a Name: Tales of Mix-ups and Mistaken Identities by Susan Stradiotto
4.0
This is a lovely collection of stories. I was first introduced to Astrid V.J's writing in another similar anthology, and I enjoyed the fact that all of these anthologies are for a good cause.
I always enjoy Astrid's writing, and this was no exception. In addition to her story, I found several others quite enjoyable. I think someone will find something to love within these pages. If nothing else, the idea of both supporting writers and helping support a great cause is something I can't say no too!
My favorites, in addition to Astrid's story, included
- "To Find A Queen," which I'm pretty sure was included from a different PoV in another anthology - I enjoyed the opportunity to see it again from a different characters viewpoint.
- "The Twin Ambers," was a unique, sweet story of familial love that played out in the historical fields of Ukraine. Many of us still hold Ukraine in our hearts, and this group has also done an anthology for that cause which was similarly amazing!
- "Hippolyta Goes Hunting," was a strange, amusing tale. I didn't expect the ending, and really the entire story was so weird, but in a good way. Like I really enjoyed it.
- "To Walk In Royal Shoes," was also strange, but enjoyable. The resolution was again unexpected, but so interesting.
The twists and turns as these stories attempt to answer the age old question, "what's in a name?" will really keep you guessing!
Definitely a win for fantasy lovers, short story friends, and those looking for something new!
