Writers spend much of their days thinking about new angles, approaches, and ways to inspire their craft. I can't really consider many of these to be prompts at all. In fact, many of these 'prompts' are detailed in single sentences with nothing more to them. As an example of this (this is not a series of prompts from the book, only an example of what the author's prompts look like).57. A knight walks up to a large cave and.
58. You find out your boyfriend is a vampire.
59. You find out that your Mom is a Fawn and your Dad is an Orc.
I have a few books on writing prompts, and each of these books offers details relating to each ideal. Ms. Huff's book of prompts is greatly lacking in this kind of detail, and I feel that anyone with a moderately active imagination and a computer can come up with a book of sentences and call it a book of writing prompts. These prompts aren't all that unique in that many of them have been done to death in already written and published works.

150 Prompts For Fantasy Writers edition by Elizabeth Huff Reference eBooks Reviews
Just bought this book yesterday. Today I wrote a really short story for the first prompt. It was fun! I am saving my stories just in case I want to expand on them later.
This book was very inspired and insightful. It offers many ideas and clarifies questions collected along the way as we persevere in our writing. I recommend it to anyone writing fantasy.
This s is one of the better prompt books I've purchased and has some excellent ideas and suggestions. The author offers not just writing prompts but suggestions and information about worlds, enhancing characteristics, features, qualities and weapons. I was pleasantly surprised and very happy to add this book to my collection.
The Good
There were a lot of decent prompts. On top of that, there was a lot of terminology descriptions and meanings for fantasy writers. I thought that was neat to include in a prompt book. The types of weaponry used in fantasy, the sub-genres of fantasy, and the terminology for militia and professions. Nifty.
The Bad
The prompts weren’t numbered. For someone like me, who likes to keep spreadsheets with numbers to track what prompts I’ve used from what sources, this is frustrating to me. Not really a big thing to anyone but me, but it’s one of the major things I look for with prompt books because it makes it easier to remind me what prompts I’ve attempted and/or used.
The Rating
Prompt books are strange beasts. Part of me wants to rate them the way I’d rate any other book, but they aren’t really like other books. This one is no exception. I really need to quit reading prompt books. They give me way too many ideas…
I took a long time working my way through the prompts in this book, refining about one every day into a short story or book idea for my own fantasy world setting. Sadly, because of the parameters of my own fantasy setting, I was only able to use about half of these fun ideas directly. But all of the ideas were interesting and sparked the imagination in some way, and I am very glad I used this book. There's even a nifty little appendix at the back of obscure measurements (like ells and furlongs), parts of an army, types of medieval European weaponry, sci-fi world design, and so forth.
Prompt books are tough. They're hard to write and they're hard to read. But, if you only get a few ideas out of them, then it's worth the trouble. And this book is definitely worth the trouble.
It's filled with dozens and dozens of great prompts. Some you will love, some you will hate. Most won't resonate with you. At least, not this time. Because the beautiful thing about Prompt books is that what didn't pique your interest today may very well spark your imagination. You just never know.
Mama always said, "Life is like a book of prompts. You never know what you're gonna get."
But, of all the Prompt books I've used over the years, this one is absolutely without question the best. That doesn't make it perfect. That doesn't mean it'll resonate with everyone who digs through it. But, if you're searching for something to tickle your inner muse, this book is a good place to start.
Good story prompts at a great price. While only one in about ten resonated with me, that's all I needed. (In other words, I paid 99 cents for 15 truly great story ideas... definitely a bargain.)
If you're looking for story prompts, I recommend this book. No book of prompts will succeed 100% of the time. Not even 50%. A 10% great (and 90% okay-to-ho-hum) success rate is pretty good.
And really, for the money, all you need is one great idea to launch a good story. A few weeks from now, when you need another story idea, your mood and context may be different enough that a totally different prompt will leap off the virtual page in this book, and start you writing your next literary masterpiece.
