Initial ThoughtsWhat a great anthology！ This collection features stories from some of my favorite series written by some of my favorite authors。 I loved the story featuring Asil from Patricia Brigg's Mery Thompson world。 It was a fun surprise to find a story from Oberon's point of view written by Kevin Hearne。 We also got a short story from the world of The Others by Anne Bishop。 I was thrilled to get a little bit of The Dresden Files with a story from Toot Too's point of view。 There were a coup Initial ThoughtsWhat a great anthology！ This collection features stories from some of my favorite series written by some of my favorite authors。 I loved the story featuring Asil from Patricia Brigg's Mery Thompson world。 It was a fun surprise to find a story from Oberon's point of view written by Kevin Hearne。 We also got a short story from the world of The Others by Anne Bishop。 I was thrilled to get a little bit of The Dresden Files with a story from Toot Too's point of view。 There were a couple of stories that I didn't like quite as much as the others but this was a very solid collection。ARC provided by the publisher via NetGalley。 Full review to be posted soon。 。。。more

I received an e-ARC copy of Heroic Hearts from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。Little Things by Jim Butcher I'm not reading this one because I am not caught up with the series。The Dark Ship by Anne Bishop - 4 stars This is a short story of The Others that takes place in the mediterranean sea area of the Cleo-Roman empire。 It was lovely so see other parts of this world。 I just wanted it to be longer and a bit more fleshed out。Comfort Zone—Armstrong Train to Last Hope— I received an e-ARC copy of Heroic Hearts from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。Little Things by Jim Butcher I'm not reading this one because I am not caught up with the series。The Dark Ship by Anne Bishop - 4 stars This is a short story of The Others that takes place in the mediterranean sea area of the Cleo-Roman empire。 It was lovely so see other parts of this world。 I just wanted it to be longer and a bit more fleshed out。Comfort Zone—Armstrong Train to Last Hope—Annie Bellet Fire Hazard—Kevin Hearne Grave Gambles—R。R。 Virdi Silverspell—Chloe Neill Troll Life—Kerrie L。 Hughes Return of the Mage—Charlaine Harris The Vampires Karamazov—Nancy Holder The Necessity of Pragmatic Magic—Jennifer Brozek Dating Terrors—Patricia Briggs 。。。more

I like themed anthologies and they are great for dipping into writers that I’m not familiar with。 But lets be honest most people are grabbing this because of either Jim Butcher’s or Patricia Brigg’s story。 The Brigg’s story has Asil as the POV and it is the best。 Butcher’s story has Toot-Toot as the POV and is good and deals with things after the Battle Ground。 The other stories were very enjoyable and only a few were settings I hadn’t read something in or a new to me writer。 Fans of urban fanta I like themed anthologies and they are great for dipping into writers that I’m not familiar with。 But lets be honest most people are grabbing this because of either Jim Butcher’s or Patricia Brigg’s story。 The Brigg’s story has Asil as the POV and it is the best。 Butcher’s story has Toot-Toot as the POV and is good and deals with things after the Battle Ground。 The other stories were very enjoyable and only a few were settings I hadn’t read something in or a new to me writer。 Fans of urban fantasy will be happy with the collection and will sound off about their favorites in the book。 Digital review copy provided by the publisher through Netgalley 。。。more

This short story collection was really great a lot of really great fun short stories here to explore。 I requested this book mostly for the Patricia Briggs short story and that did not disappoint at all。 I did not realize that Asil had been getting a series of short stories and so when I read this one I was then able to go and find the previous ones and they’re all just so excellent。

Another fantastic anthology with some of my favorites。 I jumped immediately to Patricia Briggs' story and wasn't disappointed。 It was great to read the new Jim Butcher story and Anne Bishop's The Dark Ship was a pleasure。 This is a must buy for fans of these top notch authors。 Another fantastic anthology with some of my favorites。 I jumped immediately to Patricia Briggs' story and wasn't disappointed。 It was great to read the new Jim Butcher story and Anne Bishop's The Dark Ship was a pleasure。 This is a must buy for fans of these top notch authors。 。。。more

I LOVE THIS COLLECTION！ Collections of short stories are my favorite ways to read new authors and get story updates from a favorite series。 Heroic Hearts was such a fun and fast read。 "Little Things" by Butcher， "Dating Terrors" by Briggs， and "The Return of the Mage" by Harris were my favorites， because of course they were， but I enjoyed every story I read。 I've never read any of Briggs before， so this was a good short that really drew me in。 I will be picking her books up soon。 Much to my own I LOVE THIS COLLECTION！ Collections of short stories are my favorite ways to read new authors and get story updates from a favorite series。 Heroic Hearts was such a fun and fast read。 "Little Things" by Butcher， "Dating Terrors" by Briggs， and "The Return of the Mage" by Harris were my favorites， because of course they were， but I enjoyed every story I read。 I've never read any of Briggs before， so this was a good short that really drew me in。 I will be picking her books up soon。 Much to my own folly， I read "Little Things" prior to finishing the Dresden Files most recent novel。 DO NOT READ "Little Things" IF YOU HAVE NOT FINISHED THE SERIES。 I say this because， while the spoiler is not super noticeable if you catch it the storyline will destroy you a bit。 It did to me。 Awesome anthology， one that I know I will return to again and again！ 。。。more

A fun collection of short stories from a mix of well known and up and coming authors。 The standouts include: Jim Butcher leads the way with an endearing slice of life from the Dresden Files， as we get to see Major General Toot-Toot Minimus at his finest， watching Harry's back while he's grieving Murphy。 Kevin Hearne puts in some cute with his latest Australian adventure from his trusty pooch's point of view。 Charlaine Harris delves into a new magical world with wizard mercenaries - I honestly fo A fun collection of short stories from a mix of well known and up and coming authors。 The standouts include: Jim Butcher leads the way with an endearing slice of life from the Dresden Files， as we get to see Major General Toot-Toot Minimus at his finest， watching Harry's back while he's grieving Murphy。 Kevin Hearne puts in some cute with his latest Australian adventure from his trusty pooch's point of view。 Charlaine Harris delves into a new magical world with wizard mercenaries - I honestly found this one a little tough to get through， as at first I couldn't tell if it was part of Gunnie Rose's universe or something stand a lone （it's a stand a lone - I think） and the universe was rather poorly defined。 R。R。 Virdi， an author I hadn't known before this， introduces their world of spirit detective meats Quantum Leap。 It shows quite a bit of promise， enough to make me want to track down the series and give it a try。 Too much of the plot was just handed to the protagonist， making him more of a hitman than detective - I'm curious to see if that was just a shortcut for a short story， or how Virdi regularly writes。 Patricia Briggs closes the anthology with one of her most tortured side characters， Asil the Moor， potentially finding new romance at first sight after centuries of grief-induced madness （content warning: tooth rotting romance）。 。。。more

As in any short story collection there is an element of uneveness， but there were no stories in this collection I disliked。 My favorites included some of my favorite authors and characters I knew， but pleasingly they also included a couple I have never read before。 Fans of Patricia Briggs will be thrilled to find another Asil Dating Adventure。 Dresdin makes an appearance though as a supporting cast member in the story， which if anything makes it better。 The stories The Vampires Karamazov by Nanc As in any short story collection there is an element of uneveness， but there were no stories in this collection I disliked。 My favorites included some of my favorite authors and characters I knew， but pleasingly they also included a couple I have never read before。 Fans of Patricia Briggs will be thrilled to find another Asil Dating Adventure。 Dresdin makes an appearance though as a supporting cast member in the story， which if anything makes it better。 The stories The Vampires Karamazov by Nancy Holder and Troll Life by Kerrie L Hughes were the strongest among the authors I was not familar。 I intend to look up both。 Overall a very strong modern fantasy collection with a fair range of styles and settings。 。。。more

I got this from NetGalley to preview。I'm a big fan of Butchers， so any chance to read his work is one I jump at。 And his story is delightful and fun。The only other author I'd read in the collection was Hearn， and while I've only read one of his， it was from the same world， so I had some background to go on。 It was well crafted and a good。 Of the other stories， all but the one by C Harris were good， interesting， and maybe even enough to get me to pick up their stand alone books。 The Harris one fe I got this from NetGalley to preview。I'm a big fan of Butchers， so any chance to read his work is one I jump at。 And his story is delightful and fun。The only other author I'd read in the collection was Hearn， and while I've only read one of his， it was from the same world， so I had some background to go on。 It was well crafted and a good。 Of the other stories， all but the one by C Harris were good， interesting， and maybe even enough to get me to pick up their stand alone books。 The Harris one felt like it was sloppy and poorly written， a surprise given how prolific an author she is。 Overall， a great collection to introduce you to some voices you may not have heard or to give you a little tidbit from your favorites。 。。。more

This anthology contains urban fantasy stories by some of my favorite authors。 Each story， by such notables as Jim Butcher， Charlaine Harris， Anne Bishop， Kelley Armstrong， and Patricia Briggs， share the theme of a hero， and the heroes include trolls， werewolves， and a variety of others。 My absolute favorite in the collection was the story by Patricia Briggs。 I've read all of her books， and I hope maybe she will start a new series with the characters presented in this story。 Thanks to Netgalley a This anthology contains urban fantasy stories by some of my favorite authors。 Each story， by such notables as Jim Butcher， Charlaine Harris， Anne Bishop， Kelley Armstrong， and Patricia Briggs， share the theme of a hero， and the heroes include trolls， werewolves， and a variety of others。 My absolute favorite in the collection was the story by Patricia Briggs。 I've read all of her books， and I hope maybe she will start a new series with the characters presented in this story。 Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC。 。。。more

With anthologies， the joy for me is reading a short story by an author I love and the sad part is that I’m unlikely to have that same enthusiasm for every other story。 The editors of HEROIC HEARTS found a great balance of humor and grief， serious and lighthearted which I appreciated。 I was familiar with most but not all of the authors so now I have more books to add to my TBR so I can explore more of their worlds。The theme for the anthology is courage so the stories have some sort of Big Bad to With anthologies， the joy for me is reading a short story by an author I love and the sad part is that I’m unlikely to have that same enthusiasm for every other story。 The editors of HEROIC HEARTS found a great balance of humor and grief， serious and lighthearted which I appreciated。 I was familiar with most but not all of the authors so now I have more books to add to my TBR so I can explore more of their worlds。The theme for the anthology is courage so the stories have some sort of Big Bad to be dealt with。I loved Patricia Briggs’ story - Asil dating？！ And Anne Bishop’s story about The Others - if you love the novels， this short story feels exactly like that in the best way。 It was nice to see Oberon and his poodle and sausage talk in the Kevin Hearne Iron Druid story。 If you’re an urban fantasy fan， this is a great way to visit with some favorite characters and possibly discover new series to love。 。。。more

Compilations of short stories are not usually my jam。 The collections can be uneven， and only partially interesting。 Heroic Hearts does not suffer in any way from these。 The short stories within are well written， compelling， clever， and involving enough that my engagement did not flag at all through the entire book。 Authors that I am familiar with performed well and those that were unfamiliar impressed me enough to seek out their other work。 Truly， this is the job of a good compilation！

I’ve been a fan of Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files series since the beginning， so that was my primary motivation to read this anthology， even though I’m not generally a fan of anthologies。Reading a story about Toot Toot defending the literal castle （with an assist from Mister and Bob） was a nice change of pace from the more gloomy tone the series is on。I’m not as familiar with the other authors。 A couple were have series I’ve heard of， but haven’t read， so this was a way to sample them。 I do wish th I’ve been a fan of Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files series since the beginning， so that was my primary motivation to read this anthology， even though I’m not generally a fan of anthologies。Reading a story about Toot Toot defending the literal castle （with an assist from Mister and Bob） was a nice change of pace from the more gloomy tone the series is on。I’m not as familiar with the other authors。 A couple were have series I’ve heard of， but haven’t read， so this was a way to sample them。 I do wish they’d had introductions for each story， mentioning the series name， as I spent a bit of time looking those up。 There is a bit of this at the end， but I didn’t realize that until， well， the end。ARC provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more
