Ruthie is a narrating phenom

The fantasy in these stories was amazing! I’m so glad the anthology was recommended to me, and I’m thrilled I got to experience the audiobook because the narrator brought each story to life.

FANTASTIC NARRATOR!

I loved having access to so many amazing stories, but I have to give extra flowers to the narrator. Outstanding! She really brought these stories to life. A big thank you to all the authors involved. I wanted stories with characters, heroes (even villains) that looked like, and sounded like, me. I got what I asked for and more.
