Together We Stand, Vol. 2 by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Together We Stand Vol. 2: A Charity Anthology for Ukraine is a collection of 18+ stories by various authors. Some are USA Today Bestsellers while others are new authors. I picked this up because I saw several authors I have read before and it has the added bonus of giving to charity to help those in Ukraine. I have only just started in on this book but have gotten a couple of the stories read. Each I have read is a wonderful story and I enjoy that each story is unique.
The first story I read is Clara’s Story by C.A. King. I have enjoyed many of her books and looked forward to digging into this story. The story is a quick read but definitely throws an emotional punch. How does a family, and especially the mother move on after a tragic accident? The characters were relatable which helped make this story so emotional.
The second story I read was Hidden Treasures by M.A. Abraham. This story is completely different from King’s. The story follows the Drakaina girls, protected by the Drakes. Every summer they go to private schooling that prepares them for living successfully in a world of humans and dragons. I really enjoyed the fantastical elements of this story and how the Drakes were explained. There was a lot of information for a shorter story but didn’t feel bogged down. I also enjoyed all of the characters and their interactions. This was a new author to me but I will look for more to read by them.
