Parallel Worlds: The Heroes Within by R.R. Virdi, L.J. Hachmeister
3.5
3.5 Stars Overall
As with other short-story collections, with multiple contributing authors, that I've read (or listened to) in recent years, this one follows the same basic pattern of my interest:
- I got the collection to read because at least one novella is part of a larger main series I'm currently reading/listening to; which is usually one of the more enjoyable ones.
- About 60-70% of the stories are interesting enough to read to the end thoroughly; with 15-20% perhaps raising enough interest to look up their related main series (so 2-3 in this case).
- Which, unfortunately, leaves about 30-40% that are either not immersive enough or interesting enough subject/genre for me to do more than "skip-skim" to the end. (usually, the style of writing is off-putting somehow).
Enjoy at your own investment.
