Enchanted Flames by Lyndsey Hall
5.0
THIS REVIEW IS ONLY FOR GOLDEN APPLES, ONE OF THE STORIES IN THIS COLLECTION.
Golden Apples is a 40 pages long retelling of Stravinsky's ballet, The Firebird, and weaves traditional epic fantasy with cultural elements from Ukraine along with the author's particular brand of transformation fiction.
I enjoyed this story very much. I liked the author's writing style - everything was beautifully described without the use of an overabundance of words - and I'm impressed by her ability to create such a solid character/story, because I know how difficult it can be to write short stories, especially within the fantasy genre.
I recommend reading Golden Apples, and I'm excited to find out if the other stories are just as good!
