Legends and Lore Box Set: Mythology Multi Genre
There are 21 short stories â some very short and others longer â in this box set.
I shall review in sets of 7 and give an average of stars per set.
A novella about Vivi from her previous Nia Rivers series, who is a river magical creature, with a shoe fetish (she explains this as being because all she ever saw were peopleâs feet and the shoes they wore from her river bed).
So Vivi, who had been given a pair of enchanted shoes in the previous books so she could walk (she was crippled), goes in search of some up-dated shoes from the same designer. The new ones were coming out in his shop in Rome, only the ley line she travelled on dumped in in the Athenian sea at the feet of Poseidon. He introduces her to modern life and its small issues like cars and roads and hotelsâŠ.
A good novella with a charming Vivi. 4 stars.
So here there are some twins with the smaller, and weaker twin being a girl. She is very sick, probably dying and modern medecine can do little for her. Her father and brother are determined to find a way she can be healed and so research lores and legends finding Brigid, the Celtic Goddess and Catholic Saint in Ireland with a reputation for miracles. Note: Holy Wells feature in this story.
3. Stealing Persephone: Isadora Brown
A story about Dream Walking that I couldnât be bothered to finish. 2 stars
4. Mercury Rising: Rebekkah Lewis
Hybris is the goddess of Hubris and having a tempestuous love affair with Hermes â who is sad for the wood nymph that Apollo has stolen from the satyr Melancron, and is keeping chained up in his temple until she âadmitsâ to being in love with him. if everâŠ
A rather slow short story. 3 stars.
5. Hearts and Arrows: Natasha Larry
There is Venus, Cupid and Arrows plus Sirens and their daughters in this story. Do remember that Gods feed on the love of their worshippers â no love = no God and no Power. Hence Cupid is now living in a run-down trailer.
6. How to Defeat a Demi-God: Nicole Zoltack

8.Goddess of Time: Monica Corwin
Morgana and Arthur and some enchanted islands. Didnât enchant me. 2 stars.

Medusa again but not an intentional serial killer. A modified curse but in some ways worse.
Quite enjoyable. 4 stars.
