B O O K R E V I E W : [Dis]Connected Volume 1 by @centavepub . Rating: 3/5 stars. . The idea behind this book is one of connection for those who feel a disconnection. Poets from around the world come together and share their talents. They each gain inspiration from each other that form into short stories based on each others poetry. I thought this idea was genius and a brilliant way to combine poetry and prose writing together. . I did read volume 2 first which I enjoyed immensely. I expected the same from this book but only felt this for a few of the short stories. I'm not the biggest fan of high fantasy which a lot of the short stories were which instantly meant I would have to rate it lower. I felt that some of the writing needed work and maybe more information on how a short story should be written for the authors. . My favourite story was by Liam Ryan, titled, 'The Train' which was engaging and well written. If all the stories were to this standard it would have been a 5 star read. Other stories that I enjoyed were 'The Unholy Wild' by @tristamateer which had LGBT+ representation. Although it was fantasy it was well rooted in reality which I favour. Also, 'A Way To Leave' by @rhswaney which represented mental illness very well. The other story I enjoyed was 'Ultra' by @yenasharmapurmasir which was about a mother's superstitions that had influenced her daughters mind. . Overall, this book has a wide variety of topics and genres which as a whole I enjoyed. I really hope that there will be a volume 3 to be released in the future. . #centralavenuepublishing #sarabond #nikitagill #pierrealexjeanty #amandalovelace #canisialubrin #tristamateer #cyrusparker #yenasharmapurmasir #liamryan #rhswaney #iainsthomas #amylittleford #amylittlefordauthor #bookreviews #bookstagram #books #bookreview #bookworm #bookstagrammer #bookish #booklover #bookblogger #bookreviewer #readersofinstagram #booknerd #booksofinstagram #book #bibliophile #booksbooksbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/B-APFCmFit5/?igshid=113ersemb6r5g
