Some of my favorite stories were the contemporary hurricane retelling of The Tempest, "Severe Weather Warning" by Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka; a version of The Taming of the Shrew where people can only see the world in black and white until they meet their soulmate, "Taming of the Soulmate by K. Ancrum, an imagining of what it would be like to be the dark-skinned stolen child of the fair-skinned fairies of A Midsummer Night's Dream, "King of the Fairies" by Anna-Marie McLemore; and a vampire retelling of Hamlet, "Alsinar" by Patrice Caldwell.
There was diverse representation of characters who were trans, asexual, nonbinary, etc.

These were super enjoyable and some of them really made me think. I loved making comparisons to the originals and seeing how the authors changed. I especially loved when there were author's notes at the ends of the stories describing how the authors came up with their retelling!
