LGBT REVIEW: DAYDREAMERS BY JONATHAN HARPER

Daydreamers
Author: Jonathan Harper
Publisher: Lethe Press
Genre: Gay Fiction
ISBN: 978-1-59021-296-7
Reviewed By: Sandra Scholes

Of the nine short stories here, Harper has had five published in magazines and anthologies. This stands as Harper's début collection showcasing his talent, at least that is what it seems once a glance is passed along the authors who have given him advanced praise for Daydreamers. If, like me some readers would prefer to flip around the book before devoting time to reading any one story at first, taking in the titles and the art that comes with them on the left hand side is a pleasure, especially when the artist of the flowers is Pierre-Joseph Redoute, a famous Flemish painter and botanist from the Southern Netherlands.

Based on a popular Korean MMORPG, Blade & Soul, Alka has been trained as the Clan of the Sword's best assassin, devoting her life to killing foes, the downside to this is that she has no emotion or concept of love that other people take for granted.

Finding a Regalia is what minor god Yato needs right now as his last one quit in despair. Being on Earth isn't easy either as he's in Japan, the Land of the Rising Sun and assigned the task of protecting humans from the evil Phantoms that lurk around. For all his skills as a minor god, he should be popular, but he's no shrine, no Regalia and no followers. Spray painting an advert onto a wall, he hopes he can get the followers he needs and a shrine, as there isn't much he can do without them - and a Regalia!

Back in the previous season the battle for the land of Fairy Tail had ended with a Fantasia Parade giving us all a happy ending at least. There were many downsides, though, Laxus was sent from the Guild to everyone's surprise and Lucy keeps having bad luck with the men she chooses. Now, after the end of the harvest festival, everything looks like it is back to normal except for one thing, no one saw Laxus  being sent away. No one expected it to happen at all. The hardest hit by this was Natsu who demanded to know why from Gramps.
