My Review:
The Cursed Carnival and Other Calamities: New Stories About Mythic Heroes is a collection of magical short stories. Even though I am not the targeted audience for this book, I still really enjoyed. It was great taking various adventures in all of the stories. I enjoyed them all.
I am giving The Cursed Carnival and Other Calamities: New Stories About Mythic Heroes four and a half stars. I recommend it for readers who are between the ages of eight and thirteen and are fans of fantasy and mythical.
I received a paperback copy of The Cursed Carnival and Other Calamities: New Stories About Mythic Heroes from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
