Mythic Journeys: Retold Myths and Legends
by Paula Guran
4/5
This anthology does a great job of collecting a diverse set of stories that retell myths and legends from across the world. There were only a few stories that I didn't care for and there were far more that I absolutely loved. A few highlights include "Chivalry" by Neil Gaiman, "Thesea and Astaurius" by Priya Sharma, "Armless Maidens of the American West" by Genevieve Valentine, "Give Her Honey When You Hear Her Scream" by Maria Dahvana Headly, and "Our Talons Can Crush Galaxies" by Brooke Bolander. But again, flipping back through this collection, there are so many stories that were excellent and only two or three that I didn't care for. If you like retellings and short fiction, this is a great anthology to satisfy both of those interests.
