Once Upon a Name: Charity Anthology

I received a free copy (e-arc) from the authors via Bookfunnel in exchange for an honest review.

Once Upon A Name is an interesting anthology with a little bit of everything for fantasy lovers. My main problem is that some of the stories are predictable and feel like something I have already read.

For the most part, I enjoyed the stories and some of the names are interesting that's for sure. It was interesting reading stories from authors new and old to me. 

Soulless was an interesting twist on wraiths. It felt too short for me because I wanted to stay in the world and learn more about wraiths. 4/5

Forged in Fire had me laughing because she tried to achieve her goal but she never stopped to think of the repercussions. And the talking rabbit foot 😂 4/5

In the Mist made me smile because the lengths people will go to to keep travellers safe. I also loved Kelcy's stubbornness (it is relatable). 4.5/5

Ghost of the Night Dolls this gave me such Coraline vibes it's not even funny. 4/5

Goddess of Smoke and Steel by Alice Ivinya is a cute story, but it confused me because it didn't follow the format of the other stories and maybe it changes in the actual book, but it was just there. That's why it's also the one with the author's name because it deserves better. 4.5/5

Salty Sweet is one of those stories where its like you've read one of them then you've read all of them. It is a cooking competition (I'm sure you can figure out the rest of it if you've read one of them). 3/5

Baroness of Blood and Bone is intriguing. It's like a wolf motorbike gang (that's the best way to describe it). 4/5

I'm struggling with reviewing the books because they are super short and we are not allowed to spoil the stories.

If any of these have you intrigued though please grab a copy for yourself. All proceeds goes to Book Aid, so you get a book and help a good cause, which is a win-win in my books.
