Blurb:
The sky was never the limit.
What if Snow White lived in a virtual world where the lines of reality are too blurred? What if Cinderella's ugly step-sister was half made of metal and springs? What if Sleeping Beauty slipped into a hundred years of cryo sleep?
Seven authors join forces to reimagine your favorite fairy tales as new sci-fi adventures filled with space, tech, magic, charm, and of course: happily ever afters.
Among Thorns and Stardust
My Review:
Among Thorns and Stardust has stories many stories about love in different forms. It has betrayal. There are stories about people who have been locked up all their lives. People are locked in towers. People who have not been outside their homes. They do not know what goes on in the world around them. They have been taken out of society to keep safe for one reason or another.
Among Thorns and Stardust is filled with action that keeps the pages turning. Each story will keep you wanting to know what is on the next page and wondering where the story is going. When you finish one story you can’t wait to dive into the next.
