Overall pretty solid collection. In 2021 I set out to read a ton of myth retellings, which was right before the peak of the feminist myth retellings, and read a lot of bad books that burnt me out on the concept. I don't think I would have picked this up if there hadn't been so many good names in it. Even the ones I didn't like weren't bad just boring, either just a plain retelling (no original spin) or kind of confusing (Leckie I love you but what tf did I read?)

This sort story collection was delightful for lovers of myths and sci-fi alike. My favorite story was “¡Cuidado! ¡Que Viene El Coco!” by Carlos Hernandez, page 173. I also loved T. Kingfisher's spin on Hercules, just as I love everything she writes.
