3.0

I ended up skipping a few of the stories as they clearly tied in with existing series and so I felt I was missing too much. Some prequels can be stand alone, but some still seemed like I should know the series world. As with all anthologies the style and level of polish varied. They all follow the YA route, though some seemed younger geared than others.

My favorites were:

-C.L. Cannon's Secrets of Ossadiyah - two people, one mission: retrieve a magical book from a lost, Indiana Jonesesque library in the middle of the jungle. One works for the good of all, the other for coin. Who will succeed?

A good and unashamed YA fantasy adventure with a killer twist. The romance angle may have felt a bit rushed, but otherwise it was awesome. Full book series in the world please!

- K.R.S McEntire's War of Tides and Tombs - when pirates come ashore, a girl must do all she can to protect the source of magic: her family's hidden library deep beneath their island home.

A super imaginative one which would be even better with more time and editorial polish to really make it shine. There's so much to take in and it's a world that needs more adventures in!
