Of Enchantment, Enigma, and the Infinite
Jendia Gammon and Gareth L. Powell, eds.
Stars and Sabers Publishing (August 5, 2025)
Reviewed by Nora B. Peevy

This second collection from Stars and Sabers is beautifully told and a testament to the human imagination. These new fairy tales deserve a place beside the Brothers Grimm.

If you could be a clown forever, would you? If you could see your loved ones in a river after they passed, or make a golem marry you so you didn’t have to suffer another dullard of a prince, would you?

Magic comes with infinite responsibility, but also infinite opportunity and wisdom. Explore the human stories of mermaids, wizards, living beings that can feed a village, mechanical animals, and much more from a cast of multicultural authors. Go on journeys you never expected to take from the comfort of your home and discover who you are alongside the characters in the book.
