I received a free download of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this anthology. Many of the stories I loved and would happily reread or recommend to anyone. For example my favorite would probably have to be Sleeping Cyborg which was the sleeping beauty retelling.
While all of the stories are fairy tale retelling they are all vastly different. Some were more true to the original tales while others had a little more fun in how they retold the stories. There were many different genres represented from straight up fantasy to sci-fi to urban fantasy.
There are so many authors in this anthology that you already know and love. And many more that you didn't know you were waiting to find. I might be waxing a little poetic here but I started reading this not expecting to be able to get through all of the stories but I was blown away by all of these great new takes on classic tales.
honestly a couple of them I didn't enjoy as much as the others but I still had fun reading them.
