Some of the stories in here were really good, especially the one about the Greve. ( )

A good solid collection of fairy tales that are a retellings of older stories. I liked Keirnan's take on Little Red Riding Hood and Yolen's Sleeping Beauty from a different viewpoint was fun. Not every story was a remix of another story but took the bones of fairy tales and made them into new stories. IT certainly reminded me of they Datlow and Windling collections of stories and I hope there will be more.

Interesting take on once familiar tales with an infusion of darkness making them fresh and very different and yet still familiar. Some are done better than the others but as a collection it's good. The writing is clean and well done with some beautiful imagery. Worthwhile read and certainly enjoyable as a whole. ( )
