jwood112's review against another edition
3.0
As with any short story collection, some of these tales struck a chord with me and others passed with very little impact on me.
The writing is consistently excellent. At times, the retellings are the exact same story merely from a different perspective. As an avid reader of fanfictions that do exactly this, I am not complaining. However, I think it should be noted because the drawback to this kind of retelling is that if you're not a fan of the original story, you won't be interested at all in the new perspective.
Overall, this is a well-done collection that reaches many readers of fairytale retellings.
Cheers,
J.Wood
