A Thousand Beginnings and Endings
by Elsie Chapman, Ellen Oh
I've never been one for short stories, but I definitely liked the idea of YA retellings of Asian folktales. The concepts behind all of them (I.e: the original folktales) were fascinating, some familiar and some new but enjoyable nevertheless.
Being a collection of different writers, obviously some were better suited to my tastes and I enjoyed them more than others (which the retellings of sadly left me bored) .
My personal favourites in order of appearance are Forbidden Fruit (Roshani Chokshi), Olivia's Table (Alyssa Wong), the Smile (Aisha Saeed), Bullet; Butterfly (Elsie Chapman), Nothing into All (Renee Ahdieh) and Eyes like Candlelight (Julie Kagawa).
Good collection overall
