I really enjoyed this collection! I found myself wishing I knew some young adults I could give it to, but at least one of the stories is mildly spicy so I wouldn’t personally want to give it to anyone younger than high school age. There are a great variety of stories, from modern retelling, to pure historical fantasy, to speculative fiction. I particularly loved the stories that centered on familial relationships, but there are some sweet and powerful romances in there as well. It was great to learn about some great new-to-me writers that I will seek out again. I went into this book knowing very little about South Asian culture and mythology and this book certainly left me wanting to learn more!
