review 1: Reviewed by Brandilyn for Prism Book Alliance. There are 27 stories in Grand Adventures. 28 if you count the forward by SA McAuley. Some of the stories are vignettes with established characters. Some are stand alone shorts. But each has a different voice. A different tone. To that end, I was concerned about how this collection would translate to audio. It is not a short collection. I think the total running time is something in the vicinity of 12.5 hours, at normal speed. As you know, I don't listen to any audiobook normal speed. Even on 2x speed, it is well over 7 hours listening time (don't like the 2x fool you... it isn't a true double time).
review 2: A collection of 27 stories (if I counted right) all with a theme of love and hope and a happy e... morending, all put together for a great reason.These are all quite short - probably get through 2-3 in a coffee break! - which is understandable with such a high number of collaborators. The stories range from angels to vampires, second chances, meet cutes, revisiting old friends & crushes, road trips, death, GFY, friends to lovers and more.The prologue, about literal family trees, is quite moving.Some I found OK, most were lovely and some were really good. A very few seemed quite abrupt, most were good stories and some got the whole range of emotions into a short number of words. As with all collections, I rate each story to get an average and this comes out as a 3.6 - if ratings were given for reasons to write a book it would be a 10*!I also love the cover art done by Paul Richmond, it is perfect for the book. less
