I won this book in a giveaway, thank you StoryGraph!
Hammer the Sky (and other wonder tales) by LL Rose is a collection of short stories, each with its own dose of fantasy and magical realism, touching on humanity issues, like loss, love, grief, and death. I loved how the author add the whimsical aspects within each of the stories to deliver the hidden philosophy. As expected with short stories, some stood out for me more, particularly The Whipporwind, Mortal Mortal (my favorite!), The Coming Tempest, An Offering of Lesser Gifts, Vessels, and Blaze. The characters are lovable and memorable, the writing will transport you within the stories. All stories will make you reflect on what you've read and contemplate your life.
If you enjoy reading short stories, fantasy, and philosophical themes, this book is for you!
