The Phoenix Tree: An Anthology of Myth Fantasy Reviews

  • Sarah Morgan Sandquist

    There were so many phenomenal works in this anthology. A few have become instant favorites. The featured authors are so talented; some are well-known but other I had never heard if and their works are otherwise somewhat hard to find. I think the editors were spot-on in their choices and look forward to reading more of their collected works.

    I liked it, but it took me a while to finish for some reason. Some stories were amazing, others were a bit dry as they tried to stay a bit too close to their mythological or historical roots. It's a good read, but I'd say you'd have to be really interested in these kinds of stories for me to recommend it to you.

    This seemed dated. I kept it too long before reading it. Like decades. And it's difficult in the space of a short story to get emotionally involved. The best story was by Richard Adams from "Watership Down". I haven't ever read that, and now I'm thinking I would like it.
