This anthology contains 15 retellings of Shakespeare's works. What's neat about the collection is it was created by YA authors. So most of the retellings have a modern contemporary feel to them and that's what made it a fun read for me. I'll admit I struggled a bit in school when reading Shakespeare, and I'm glad this book serves a purpose of presenting his works but with a modern spin. Some of the stories in this collection I enjoyed so much, I now want to check out the original version by Shak...
I loved most of the comedies, but the tragedies tended to not be as good. I'd absolutely recommend this to any Shakespeare fan, but the stories range from bland to amazing. My favorite stories of the collection are King of the Fairies, I Bleed, Some Other Metal, Elsinore, and Shipwrecked.Severe Weather Warning: 1/5 stars. Cute I guess, but not too interesting and horrible as a retelling of The Tempest. I want to read their Taming of the Shrew retelling though.Shipwrecked: 5/5. This was so cute a...

4.5/5I love the Bard and I loved this anthology. Not all of them were brilliant but a majority of them were and boy were they BRILLIANT. This was one of my most anticipated books of 2021 and it did not disappoint.This is my comfort read queer YA anthology collection. Dahlia Adler is killing it with these (Her previous anthology was on Poe and that was brilliant as well).

SEVERE WEATHER WARNING - 4/5 okay this was cute as hell...SHIPWRECKED - 3/5 Twelfth Night is one of my favourite Shakespeare plays, but this was not one of my favourite retellings.TAMING OF THE SOUL-MATE - 5/5 enemies to lovers soulmate verse is not the Taming of the Shrew retelling that i was expecting, but it's the one i deserve.
