Beasts and Beauty: Dangerous Tales by Soman Chainani

Received a free ARC from NetGalley
This anthology includes diverse retellings of well-known fairy tales. Most are solid, with the best ones being “Red Riding Hood” and “Hansel and Gretel.” The “Beauty and the Beast” story is also very solid, with a tragic ending I was not anticipating. The weakest ones are the gender bent “Sleeping Beauty” which did not make much sense and “Rapunzel” which had a very ambiguous ‘Was This a Dream’ type ending.
