5.0
I have been listening to this book on audio and I really enjoyed the different stories based on Shakespearean stories. My favourites were:
Severe Weather Warning - Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegmind-Broka - this is a first for these authors for me. I really enjoyed their take on the story and the writing style. It was so good and enjoyable.
Shipwrecked - Mark Oshiro - this one was awesome. I loved Vi in this book. They were absolutely awesome.
I Bleed - Dahlia Adler - this was not my first reading by Dahlia Adler and she did such a great job writing Jewish hate and prejudice. Being married to a Jewish man, I heard the hate that was in here and I felt so much pain.
Dreaming of the Dark - Lindsay Smith - this one was such an interesting interpretation of a portion of Caesar. I liked the gender swap and interpretation.
The rest of the stories were great too. I did not know all these Shakespearean stories, but for the ones I did know I liked to compare to the original. When I didn’t know the original I found myself wanting to read the original.
I was definitely a fan of this type of anthology and hope that more come out in the future.
