2.0

Felt like a wide range in style but a surprisingly narrow range of reimaginings. I disliked a few stories very strongly and enjoyed several more. I was left with an overall neutral impression of the book as a whole, and a sense that the A-list authors were given leave to do pretty much whatever they wanted. "Penny for a Match, Mister," "The Briar & The Rose," "Seasons of Glass and Iron," and "Even the Crumbs were Delicious" were my favorites, the rest I could take or leave.
