Review: Fairy Tales and Shadows – Phillip Donnelly

by
Fairy Tales and Shadows - Phillip Donnelly

Note: Upon discovering that the author used AI to assist in the writing of some of these stories, we were concerned about publishing this review. Although AI is a fascinating technology, as it is currently constructed it does not compensate the authors on whose work it is based.
