We With Wings is a charming and imaginative anthology of short stories set in a richly built world of Folk — winged humanoids like ParrotFolk, BatFolk, OwlFolk, MothFolk, and BeeFolk — where each tale explores a different facet of life, culture, and connection among these airborne peoples.
What makes this collection stand out is its varied perspectives and tones: from the loyal BeeFolk soldier grappling with duty and love, to the covert BatFolk assassin navigating night missions, to the BarnowlFolk who unexpectedly reconnects with family and finds warmth in simple life. Each chapter feels like a little window into a unique life, culture, and emotional experience within this vivid world.
The storytelling shines in how ordinary moments — a festival, creative pursuits, quiet journeys, familial reunions — are given extraordinary wings through the rich cultural backdrop and the symbolic freedom of flight. Whether it’s quirky antics or gentle character study, the world feels lived‑in, warm, and full of distinct personalities.
We With Wings is a delightful and heartfelt anthology that elevates slice‑of‑life fantasy with colorful worldbuilding, diverse character voices, and the simple magic of life lived aloft.
