Heroes

This is an anthology featuring retelling of myths and legends. The introduction states the main idea behind the choices was hope. I received a copy to judge for the Indie Ink Awards for Best book cover, best illustrator, prettiest book interior, best light read, side character mvp, and funniest book. Because of some of the things I was judging for, I also decided to grab a physical copy. As you can see, the cover is gorgeous and there are definitely some nice interior things. 
As this is an anthology, the only thing for me was shortness, it's hard to fall into a story when every time you do, it ends. Then the next one is a new author with a new style of writing. It makes it hard to hit that stride with a typical light read. The stories were enjoyable though, I just couldn't get super into reading mode with it. 
For the most part, the retellings all took on a scifi approach. I'm not sure if that was a requirement, because it wasn't noted in the intro, but if it wasn't, I would have liked to see some other things thrown in. There was one that was like a scifi/western Robin Hood, and I kept wondering why it wasn't just a western, cause that is a retelling in itself! 
Regardless, this is a fun anthology full of unique myth and legend retellings by various indie authors.
