** Thank you to Netgalley, White Lion Publishing, and of course, Sarah Baxter, for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Mystical Places is a collection of 25 locations around the world described by Baxter before being taken over by the legends which make the places worth the glory of being shared. We are given kings, summits, architecture, stories of mythical creatures, and folklore which give the stories we all know and tell today their origins. Where would our own storytelling be without these original places and themes?
I really enjoyed that this book included a GLOBAL traveling experience. We touched on multiple continents with multiple cultures. We are reminded that while borders are drawn by governments, perhaps it is the actual cultures that draw the lines. Once covid is over and I find myself safe to travel again, I know I want to go and explore these places and cultures.
If you want to be lost in a book where legends describe places, this is the book for you. As the days get shorter - I recommend this book to all to escape the crazy world we are currently dealing with.
