I was looking for Liana Brooks' All I Want for Christmas is a Reaper when I saw these two short stories by her. I just had to give them a try.
Level Nine by Liana Brooks
What is it about:
Andrea plays the Game—a massive, interstellar, virtual reality experience—as often as she can. And she plays well. Really well.
…Well, she cheats, actually, which she feels ambivalent about to be honest.
Except on Level Nine. Because no matter how hard she tries, Level Ten remains out of reach… until a wholesome newcomer arrives.
A light-hearted, feel-good story about the power of online gaming to bring people together.
What did I think of it:
This 25 page short story is a fun and quick read. I very much enjoyed the characters and the setting. I wouldn't mind if Brooks would write a longer story in this setting.
Not Quite Cinderella by Liana Brooks
What is it about:
The king announces a ball in order to end the war. His subjects? Overjoyed.
Marian? Determined to stop it. Her sponsors need the war to continue.
Looks like sabotage will feature at the top of tonight’s menu.
A Cinderella retelling for everyone who ever wondered why Cinderella wanted to marry the prince in the first place.
What did I think of it:
Another short, but satisfying story.
I admire how Brooks set up and delivers an intriguing story in just 27 pages.
I will definitely try more of the short stories by Brooks as well as other stories in this series.
Why should you read them:
They're short fun reads for when you need a quick book fix.
