Reece Herring

Review for Erato’s Tears  

This compelling and beautifully crafted story by Reece Herring captured my attention quickly and held it all the way through. At only 109 pages, you’d think some part of storytelling would have to be sacrificed, but that was not the case. A complete and vividly described world was built, characters you felt you knew and cared about came to life and a plot you couldn’t predict unfolded flawlessly. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve lost interest in a book because I knew exactly what was going to happen next. Ms. Herring gave me an unexpected treat. An afternoon of indispensable fantasy, complete with ancient Gods and Goddesses, plus Erato the Muse of Love herself, come to life. Erato must have inspired Ms. Herring since she told this story so perfectly.

 Long And The Short Of It Review of Soar Into Ecstasy

For a short story, the plot was well developed and fulfilling. Their tale follows a classic formula for love stories--Rheason and Elisaph are thrown together by fate and instantly dislike one another, and through lots of adversity, their hearts find each other--but their adventure is revealed in an interesting and unique way. Ms. Herring hooks you with Elisaph, a gorgeous winged Anointed servant to the Goddess Euphrosyn falling through the trees and Rheason going to his rescue, but instead of gratitude, he offers her impatience and ill temper. From there, I wanted to know what would happen to these two.
