Unfettered

The list of contributors should give a clear indication on the quality of this collection. There are some big and important names in the fantasy genre here. The Unfettered collection also serves a noble cause as well! Shawn Speakman, the proprietor of Grim Oak Press, organised this collection as a way to raise money to help fight his cancer and the success of this has been such that he has been able to set up a fund to help other authors.

The stories here are all by authors at the top of their craft. Even the weaker ones are interesting enough - usually in a collection there are some which don't work with me and whilst some are weaker there are no stories in here that were not worth reading. A brilliant fantasy short story collection!

More than 50% of the stories were worth reading, but there were a few duds among them. I also believe that I should probably avoid collections of short stories in the future—I prefer the depth that comes from an entire novel or series.

Listened to the audiobook as part of the Unfettered anthology. Maybe it would have been interesting if I had already read the series.

Listened to the audiobook as part of the Unfettered anthology. I didn't not like it.
