Review: Heroes Wanted: A Fantasy Anthology

April 21, 2021 by chilcottharry Leave a Comment

This anthology has a special place in my heart, and I feel like I owe it to talk about all of the stories in a non-spoiler fashion, giving you a quick insight into each and what makes them so brilliant. So less of a review and more of just a straight up gush. This is why you should read Heroes Wanted!
