    Ooh, I wonder who this non-mortal is and why he wants her to be quiet. And the cover is absolutely gorgeous! I love that kind of drawing style, which seems kind of rough but is yet really detailed! Thanks for hosting :)

    I'm not usually a big fan of anthologies since I prefer novels to short stories. But this one certainly has an awesome assortment of authors. I hope you are enjoying it. Happy reading!

    Is this quote from a short story within the book I am guessing only from the cover. The cover is very intriguing.

REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
