I really enjoyed these stories and learning other fairytales and myths that I’m not familiar with. There were a few that would make really awesome full length novels.

Update 8/28/18. Here's my full review: http://www.bookishrealmreviews.com/2018/08/a-thousand-beginnings-endings-by-ellen.html

I’m finally finished lol it felt like it took forever for me to finish this book! I can say that it was well worth the read though. I’m usually hesitant about reading anthologies because usually I don’t enjoy most of the stories included but this was definitely an exception. The stories were engaging and I thought they did a wonderful job of re-telling Asian myths and legends. I have a full written review that I’ll be posting on my blog soon!

There were some very interesting stories in this compilation! Some of them I didn't care for as much, but I am glad I picked this up. It pushed me outside of my comfort zone and my "normal" genres. :)
