4.0
At first I was a bit hesitant about agreeing to review this book, mostly because due to personal reasons I'm not in a great headspace at the moment and I'm actually not reading that much lately.. But I'm glad that I said yes and took a chance on a great ride. First It's a unique concept, gather together stories to bring to life the spirit of the Olympics (which were canceled last Year due to the Pandemic) and mix it with Japanese Folklore. To be honest they had me already at Japanese Folklore, but it's not just that it also show us the impact this past year had on everyone.
There are 16 tales for you to enjoy on various topics, some are better than other as it's often the case with anthologies. My personal Favorite was Fox Fire a fantasy inspired by Kitsune. But I also enjoyed a lot of the commentaries and different perpectives about the missing Olympics and the reality we now live in.
It is a book I would recommend to anyone who wants to take their mind of any issue they may have it certainly worked wonders with me, and I'm sure that you'll find a favorite among these stories..particularly if you enjoy Science Fiction.
