What makes a book an enjoyable read varies from person to person. Some people love action-packed adventures, while others prefer slow-paced literary works. However, one thing is for sure, an enjoyable read has the ability to capture our attention, engage our emotions, and leave us with a sense of satisfaction.

So, the next time you pick up a book, take a moment to appreciate the potential it holds to be an enjoyable read. Let yourself get lost in the pages and discover the magic that lies within.

I have a penchant for reading short story collections from time to time. So, when I chanced upon this particular collection, I decided to give it a try. The question of what constitutes a warrior intrigued me, and I was eager to explore it further.


"Young Warriors" features a compilation of 15 distinct short stories that span a wide range of concepts. Some of the stories are set in India, others in South America, and yet others in fantasy realms. All 15 stories contribute something interesting to the notion of what a warrior is or does. The warriors in these stories are a diverse mix of male and female, from different cultures and eras.


Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed all 15 stories, yet none of them truly stood out to me. The ideas and characters were engaging, but not extraordinary. Reading "Young Warriors" was a pleasant way to pass the day. It was fascinating to read a reimagining of Helen of Troy's story and to witness how some of the authors set their tales in non-Western settings. Some of the concepts about what makes a warrior were thought-provoking, and I felt that the authors, on the whole, explored this idea in a unique manner. I also appreciated that the short stories were framed by two essays - the introduction and conclusion. Pierce's reflections on the different manifestations of a warrior were truly captivating.


If you are a fan of any of the authors in this anthology, you might want to consider giving it a look. Although "Young Warriors" may not be spectacular, it is still a great read.

I read the first few stories, but I didn't feel compelled to keep reading. This is quite unusual for me as it's rare for me not to finish a book.

Generally, I have a great passion for reading and can easily get immersed in the plot and characters. However, in this case, something seemed to be lacking.

Maybe the writing style didn't resonate with me, or the stories didn't have enough depth or excitement. I'm not sure exactly what it was, but it was enough to make me lose interest.

Nevertheless, I still believe that every book has its own value, and perhaps I just need to give it another chance at a different time. Maybe I'll discover something that I missed the first time around.

Most of the stories are truly captivating and engaging.

However, there are a few that seem rather disjointed and make little-to-no sense.

My absolute favorite among them is the one that was actually penned by Tamora Pierce.

The reason for this is that it manages to delve a little deeper into the life of a Shang warrior and their arduous training.

After having read the stories of Alanna, Daine, and Kel, I had wished that Pierce would explore this aspect further.

The stories in general tend to center around young women and men who are forced to be strong in various ways.

This could be physical strength, which allows them to overcome formidable opponents.

Or it could be mental strength, enabling them to endure great hardships and make tough decisions.

Alternatively, it might be survival instincts, which help them navigate through dangerous and unfamiliar situations.

Overall, these stories offer a diverse and interesting look at the challenges and triumphs of young individuals in different circumstances.

To start, this was my first Anthology and I must admit, I was very skeptical at first.

However, it turned out to be great. Of course, out of the 15 stories, there were some I didn't like. Serpent's Rock and An Axe For Men to name a few. But overall, the good outweighed the bad.

A lot of the stories were very uplifting and enjoyable in their own senses. Some even managed to be funny at times, which I feel added a lot.

There are certainly some stories I would love to read again.

For example, one story had a plot that was so engaging that I couldn't put it down. The characters were well-developed and the setting was vividly described.

Another story had a unique perspective that made me think differently about certain things. It was thought-provoking and had a profound impact on me.

In conclusion, although there were a few stories that didn't quite hit the mark for me, this Anthology was definitely a great read. I would highly recommend it to others who enjoy a variety of stories.

I look forward to reading more Anthologies in the future and seeing what other great stories are out there.

"Very Empowering for Young Women"

Empowerment is a crucial concept for young women in today's society. It gives them the confidence and strength to pursue their dreams and overcome various challenges. When young women are empowered, they are more likely to take risks, make decisions independently, and believe in their own abilities.



There are many ways to empower young women. Education plays a vital role in providing them with knowledge and skills that can enhance their self-esteem and open up opportunities for their future. Mentoring programs can also be very beneficial, as they allow young women to learn from experienced individuals and gain valuable insights.



In addition, creating a supportive and inclusive environment is essential for young women's empowerment. This means breaking down gender barriers, challenging stereotypes, and promoting equality in all aspects of life. By doing so, we can ensure that young women have the same opportunities as men and can reach their full potential.



Overall, empowering young women is not only important for their individual growth and development but also for the progress and prosperity of society as a whole. We should all do our part to support and encourage young women to become empowered and make a positive impact on the world.

There are definitely some stories that I wanted to cut from this book this time around.

These stories, although perhaps interesting in their own right, did not quite fit the overall theme or narrative arc that I was aiming for.

As I was going through the manuscript, I found myself constantly evaluating each story based on its relevance and contribution to the bigger picture.

Some of the stories were simply too tangential, while others seemed to repeat ideas or themes that had already been explored elsewhere in the book.

Cutting these stories was not an easy decision, as I had put a lot of time and effort into writing them.

However, I knew that in order to create a more cohesive and engaging read, I had to be ruthless in my editing.

In the end, I believe that the book is stronger for having removed these stories, and I am excited to share the final product with readers.

I read this book years ago. When my mom was cleaning out books to donate, I found it on the shelf. It's unusual that I didn't remember a single story in it. So, I decided to give it a reread.


The short story "The Boy Who Cried Dragon" was really cute. As a huge Tamora Pierce fan, I truly enjoyed her short story "Student of Ostriches". There were also some more "when the earth was young" type stories like "Serpent’s Rock" and "An Axe for Men". Both of these stories felt like authentic legends. They had that fabulous cadence and turn of phrase that one would expect to hear from mythology.


"Swords That Talk" had a really neat idea. However, ultimately, I don't think these stories will stick in my head for very long. For now, though, it will stay on my shelf. Just in case I find that I can't get it out of my head.
