“The stories in Tales of Asterra are well-written and a pleasure to read. They had great plots, lovable characters, and some deep lore, considering their length. Each story flowed across the page beautifully and I could feel the passion that Michael Frank Rizzo put into his work. An excellent read and one I recommend to fantasy lovers.”
