Embrace the Passion (Pets in Space ) Anthology – Review by Sarah Oakes

Embrace the Passion by S.E. Smith
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A brilliant anthology of tales featuring pets in space. In The Heart of the Cat alien shapeshifters search for a mythical item to help their people but discover there is more to the tale. In Desert Hunter on a fantasy world desert travellers Mersi and Bren help a stray dog and face their fears. In Star Cruise Mystery Dancer a talented dancer is more than she seems and has a mysterious pet. Or Operation Ark a tale of returning animals home and facing troubles on the way and many more captivating tales to explore in this fantatsic collection.
A great read. Well developed plots with twists and turns that I just couldn’t put down.
Fast paced action and high stakes in wonderful fantasy worlds made for a highly captivating read throughout the novel. In particular, I loved the visual detail throughout the stories, in the sci fi nature of the world’s with two suns or extreme places like the desert with its dunes and harsh climate. Or the sarafin world with the exotic and eerie beauty of the forest kingdom with a sacred sense of magic and mystery. Overall, a great anthology and I would give it five stars.
