"Queer and diverse, this Shakespeare anthology takes 15 of the Bard's most iconic works and builds an eclectic collection that successfully subverts the original white heteronormative canon. . . . Built-in curriculum potential and excellent representation mean school libraries in particular will find this anthology a worthy purchase." — School Library Journal

"A spectacular, spellbinding Shakespearean collection that you will fall deeply in love with. Each tale is a gem in the glittering crown of this anthology, which is one of the best I've ever read." — The Nerd Daily
