Born in Fire: A Short Story Collection

Most of the stories in this collection are about a young man discovering some dark powers in a coming-of-age tale. It felt a bit repetitive at times because of this.

They read sort of like fantasies or things you'd daydream about when young and bored turned into dark fiction/horror tales. Nothing was horrible though and I enjoyed the writing but the stories weren't the greatest. When the author breaks away from this I liked it more.

Unfortunately, there are just way too many typos in this collection. I normally ignore those and don't let them bother me, especially in self-published works so that should tell you just how many there were. This really could use another check through to fix those up.

I do quite like this author as they do characters well (when not doing the usual young man awakens special powers thing) and have all sorts of zany ideas but this wasn't their best example of those.
