List of stories:
Lost in a Familiar Place - 3 stars - One of the shortest. This is more of a story outline than an actual story.

The Unobliging Princess - 4 stars - A princess gets rescued, but doesn't seem happy about it. A touching story.

The Best Birthday - 4 stars

Words Like Rain - 4 stars - Clever world building

The Portentous Passenger - 4 stars

The First Martian Church of God - 5 stars - My favorite of the stories

The Nano-Knights of Mars - 4 stars - Fun sci-fi retelling of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table

The Saga of Artur Uthersson - 3 stars - Clever idea, but the story didn't really work for me.

The Saga of Freydis Beastsbane - 4 stars - Slow start, but has a great fight scene.

Ogre Hunt - 4 stars

Doppelganger Danger - 4 stars - This one will keep you guessing.

Taking Down Goliath - 3 stars - The poem of the book. I'm not much of a poetry reader.

A Merchant in Oria - 4 stars - The longest story of the book and it does some interesting things.
