New Release Review ~ Far, Far Away Anthology ~ SciFi #Fantasy #SpeculativeFiction @MirrorWorldPub

Welcome to the book tour for Far, Far, Away, a new SciFi and Fantasy 7 story anthology.

About Far, Far Away:

In a land far, far away… In a distant galaxy… Once upon a time…

These are all ways to begin fantastical tales of love and adventure. Gateways into the realms of imagination. In this anthology, we bring together authors from all over this world to transport you into the worlds they’ve created.

Travel through space and experience infinity three hours at a time. Explore dangerous caverns for the source of a deadly disturbance. Get stranded on a mysterious island from which no one returns, then learn to survive on a distant planet while you hope for rescue. 

In this far-reaching, magical collection love allows you to see in colour, time is vast but fragile, and changing minds and hearts in Ancient Rome is only one stop on an epic journey across time, space, and reality.

Read an Excerpt:

It’s 2021. The pandemic drags on and we’re all stuck inside. Blegh. Reality sucks.

So why not take this opportunity to escape into fiction?

A year ago we ran a contest and we asked writers to submit stories set in other times, places, and versions of reality. Then we had our judges pick the best ones to include in this anthology.

Therefore, the seven stories you are about to read are windows into other worlds, but also into the minds of eight extremely creative and talented individuals. We’ve included their bios and a few words from each of them so you can get to know the people who have created such imaginative stories to take us far, far away, if only for a little while.

So pack your bags, or don’t because you won’t be needing them for this journey. Instead, sit back, relax, and turn the page to find distant galaxies, alien cultures, mysterious magical islands, unknown planets, the value of colour, the fragility of time, and the fickle nature of fate.

My Review:

Far, Far Away is a fantastic collection of scifi and fantasy stories. If you are looking to get lost in a variety of stories grab a copy of this book. I found myself absorbed by the stories, loving the variations in genre, location, culture, and scifi and fantasy themes. 

I don't want to spoil the anthology so I'll just discuss the first book: “Piece of Mind” by L.R. Braden is a quick read that both fascinated and intrigued me. I was drawn in by her writing, her imagination, and the creativity in her story. The author's take on the collapse of earth and a rather interesting method of trying to save humanity kept me interested and engaged. 

All of the books in this anthology are well-written, intriguing, and creative. I was drawn to the different worlds, characters, and themes. The authors of all but one of the stories are new to me and I'm glad I took a chance on Far, Far Away. I now have a whole bunch of new authors to get lost in.

I requested a copy of this book to read.
