The Fierce Reads Anthology by Marissa Meyer, Jennifer Bosworth, Leigh Bardugo, Anna Banks, Emmy Laybourne

5.0

What a great way to seek out the next great good book to read. This this is an anthology of five very fantastical stories. First, I thoroughly enjoyed "Legacy Lost" by Anna Banks and subsequent first chapter of [b:Of Poseidon|12425532|Of Poseidon (Of Poseidon, #1)|Anna Banks|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327879889s/12425532.jpg|17375535] which I downloaded and read entirely before continuing to the next author's contribution. Second in line, "The Witch of Duva" by Leigh Bardugo, I didn't care for at all. Too Grim for me. The third author, Jennifer Bosworth, is clearly a gifted writer. Her contribution, "Prophet" continued in the sample of her novel "Struck". The story just got too dark for my taste. Fourth, the adrenalin infused spectacle, "Dress Your Marines in White" by Emmy Laybourne was exactly that. However, her 1st chapter sample of [b:Monument 14|12753231|Monument 14 (Monument 14 #1)|Emmy Laybourne|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1337779838s/12753231.jpg|17894351] is what I most appreciate from this author's contribution. I have that on my want-to-read list. Finally, Marissa Meyer's "Glitch" is simply so unique and engrossing that makes the full length novel [b:Cinder|11235712|Cinder (Lunar Chronicles, #1)|Marissa Meyer|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1317794278s/11235712.jpg|15545385] a must-read.
