Short stories and poems about harpies, Loki, fairies, ravens, etc. Interesting combination of pieces with some hidden meanings, like we are our own worst enemy, and ideas like our path is only begun. Tried to look at the pieces and what our world is like, coming to some very crazy conclusions. I think everyone to dwells on these will come to their own varied conclusions, depending on where you like and what your surroundings are.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntari...
I really enjoyed all the stories in this book. Normally in a collection like this I will find a few I do not care for, but not in this one! There are short stories and poems of all sorts from funny to scary. It is definitely worth reading.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I really like this anthology series. You can find very unusual stories and authors here. This book is no exception - there is modern poetry that looks like, prose that reads like poetry and stories that make you think long and hard. Some stories are not very easy to comprehend, at least for me, to be honest. And because I still tend to like fun stories over sad or overly thoughtful ones-Loki is still my favourite. But I do not regret anything else either, even the most cryptic or sad ones.I rece...
3.5 starsI received a copy of this book from the Editor in exchange for an honest review. Before going on with the review, let’s take a moment to look at the cover. It is a piece of art, isn’t it???As you can imagine, the theme of this anthology was air, and between these pages, we met a lot of marvelous and magical creatures, from different folklores around the world. It was an interesting experience, and the reading was quite surprising, even if, to be completely honest, I was expecting someth...
This collection contained very engrossing and thought provoking reads. I really enjoyed the variety of myths, legends, and magical creatures that starred in these stories. Each story was unique and entertaining. Can't wait for the next installment.
Diffuse focus but superb and beautifully written stories/poetryI'm a Rhonda Parrish fan. She collates/curates some of the best and most imaginative anthologies, and her latest - AIR:Sylphs, Spirits, and Swan Maidens is an outstanding example. The stories - incredible flights of fancy - are by turns elegant, puzzling, scary, and lovely, and one or two are a little confusing, but intriguing nonetheless The poetry doesn't add as much, IMHO, but I'm not a huge fan of most poetry to begin with. I'm b...
great collection. These are all so good I can't pick one over the others as they are all well done. Thank you for putting this together. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Hmmmm….This is a hard-to-pin-down anthology that theoretically has all of its constituent parts tied together by the concept of air, sylphs, spirits, and swan maidens. I didn't always see the connection or thought it was tenuous at best. I found the stories at times confusing—what were they really driving at?—and the poetry sometimes pretentious. With the overarching theme of air, you would think this would have lighter themes, but they were often dark. In all honesty, I wasn't terribly wild abo...
I have to give this book the top marks allowed on here because it Is an anthology that is filled with so many diverse short stories and poems, which I will admit some I wasn’t so clever to understand the meaning, but that’s my poetry education no more no less. I found that Air fitted perfectly within the anthology series from Rhonda Parrish, she has bought together an amazing collection of tales that certainly takes you away from your reality and time into different wonderlands and new character...
Air: Sylphs, Spirits and Swan Maidens is the third entry in the Elemental Anthologies series by Tyche Books. Now I want to read Fire and Earth as well, because I really liked the range and diversity of content in Air and because I'm an absolute sucker for anything related to the four elements.This anthology is a combination of prose and poetry, which initially came as a surprise because, honestly, I don't think I've ever encountered poetry in an anthology before. I'm glad Parrish included them t...
