THE ANTHOLOGY OF GRIEF AND HOPE
Hello, friends! Welcome to my space.
Today, I will talk about an Anthology. I'm going to be honest with you, this is the first time I read an Anthology, and my first Anthology read is not disappointing me at all!
The Alchemy of Sorrow
Publishing date: November 1, 2022
Synopsis:
Here be dragons and sorcery, time travel and sorrow.
Vicious garden gnomes. A grounded phoenix rider. A new mother consumed with vengeance. A dying god. Soul magic.
These stories wrestle with the experience of loss—of loved ones, of relationships, of a sense of self, of health—and forge a path to hope as characters fight their way forward.
From bestsellers and SPFBO finalists to rising voices, 13 exceptionally talented authors explore the many facets of grief and healing through the lens of fantasy and sci-fi.
My rating: ★★★★★
The Alchemy of Sorrow is a Fantasy and Sci-Fi Anthology about grief and hope of each character in this book. For fantasy and science fiction genres, usually you are going to see the "good vs evil" battle. In this story, the evil is inside the characters. Their own negative minds. In each story, you are going to see and feel their struggle in fighting their weaknesses, believing with their own power, and keeping true to themself.
My favorite story is the one from K.S. Villoso. I love its point of view. At first, it confused me who the narrator was, but after I found it out, I was in awe! The perspective was amazing. I could feel the narrator's feeling, his grief. I think this story represents the theme really well.
I highly recommend this book. This book not only contains the stories from the authors, but you also can find their hope in them, their messages, and all of them are beautiful.
