ABOUT THE BOOK

The poetry uncovers extraordinary themes including through an exploration of nature and a narration of personal tales. Not only are the stories told guaranteed to captivate readers but you are sure to be stunned by the grace of the valley and the beauty of the poetry narrated. Each and every tale told is remarkable and designed to be cherished.
Genre: Short Stories

MY REVIEW
2 out of 5 stars
The concepts presented in the stories of “Fate and Fortune” were thought-provoking, and many offered an interesting look at human nature. However, there were typos and stylistic inconsistencies that retracted from the quality of the writing, which, overall, felt somewhat amateurish. The stories lacked solid expositions and often ended abruptly, and I would have liked more details to flesh out the characters. Although I enjoyed the instances of magic and science fiction in this collection, I wish it had been better written.
