There were a lot of fascinating ideas in this anthology! Overall, though, it sort of missed the mark for me.
I'm pretty picky when it comes to short stories, so I think my main problem with Where Giants Fall was completely a matter of taste. I prefer short stories that focus on the character's emotional arc, and most of these seemed to focus on the action of the plot. I do think some of the stories could have used more polishing as well.
However, there were so many great themes and messages about good and evil, light and darkness—and all the fantasy settings were definitely a plus. I'm glad these authors are providing fantasy stories that focus on hope and truth!
