All it takes to be a hero is a chance
Hall of Heroes is the second Fellowship of Fantasy anthology. All of the stories are clean and suitable for young adult readers. Many would be great to read aloud to younger audiences as well. There are also religious themes to many of the novellas.
Prior to reading this anthology series, I was unfamiliar with these authors. I picked up the series when it was offered free on Kindle and have enjoyed it thus far. Several of the offerings in this book are part of larger series that I look forward to reading. I found all of them to be well written, with good characterizations and world building within the confines of the novella format. With 26 short stories by 23 authors, there is something for everyone.
Standout stories for me were:
"Not Quite a Hero" by Arthur Daigle featuring Dana Illwind and Sorcerer Jayden
Dana summons the sorcerer to help save her town from a monster.
"The Ungifted Twin" by Tamie Dearen introducing characters to her Alora series
Deria has lost hope that she will manifest any gifts as she reaches her 17th birthday. Will her newly awakened gift be enough to save them from the evil Water Clan
"A Fiery Gift" by A.J. Bakke
Everly risks her life to rescue the fire otters when the volcano erupts.
"River's Edge Ransom" by Julie C. Gilbert Prequel to the Redeemer Chronicles
Daniel is contracted to kill Destroyer Marina at the behest of her brothers. But Marina is using her gifts to heal. Definitely left me wanting to read more of the series
"Sweet Basil" by Lea Doue
Part of her Firethorne Chronicles, Marisol has the power to heal thanks to a dragon tattoo.
"Alancia's Dance" by H.L. Burke
A twist on the legend of the Minotaur and the labyrinth
"The Hero Feat of Hannah Helstrom" by J. Philip Horne from Guild of Sevens Series
Hannah feels like an outcast among her super powered classmates as all she can do is self heal. But paired with her determination, that power is enough to save a young friend from catastrophe
"Leticia's Song" by Jessica L. Elliott part of the Charming Academy Series
Leticia uses a fairy song to help a princess rescue her lost prince.
"Teamwork" by Laura VanArendonk Baugh
Told from the point of view of Titan, the Doberman, the story of how he saves his mistress from a man who means her harm
