I received an eARC of this book from the publisher, through NetGalley, in exchange for my honest review.

4.5 stars.

A thrilling collection of reimagined fairy tales that showcase more inclusivity within their characters as well as twisting the stories on their heads.

I really appreciate that excerpts from the original stories are included in the book so that readers can see where inspiration was taken, and where the stories have evolved.

An excellent mixture of both heart warming and dark retellings.

This is a good collection of short stories. I like how Dahlia Adler includes the originals in her collections. Although I think that I enjoyed His Hideous Heart a little bit more, this one was still very good. My favorites were In the Forests of the Night, Fire and Rhinestone, Coyote in High-Top Sneakers, and A Story About a Girl. The only one I didn't like at all was Sugarplum.
