One of the best short story collections I've read, full of feminist fairy tale retellings (including many non-mainstream fairy tales) that span genres. My two least favorite stories, "Even the Crumbs are Delicious" and "Badgirl, the Deadman, and the Wheel of Fortune," coincidentally were both about drugs. It was interesting to see Novik's first iteration of "Spinning Silver," though I like the full novel better. My favorites were "In the Desert Like a Bone," featuring a Western gunslinging Red Riding Hood; "Familiaris" about the harm children cause their mothers; "Seasons of Glass and Iron" where two women finally cast off society's expectations to find love; "Penny for a Match, Mister?" another Western with vengeful spirits; "Some Wait," a creepy tale of child-snatching by the Pied Piper; "The Briar and the Rose," nothing like the typical Sleeping Beauty; "The Other Thea," with shades of Sabrina the Teenage Witch; and "Reflected" where mirrors lead to alternate dimensions.
