I really enjoyed a couple of the first stories - Beatrice and Rebecca - so I was feeling pretty good! But then I didn’t really care about the rest of them. A lot of folks mention the titular story Jagannath as a strong one, but I didn’t care for it much either.

Oddly, I really enjoyed Afterword. Tidbeck talks about translating her own stories and has some interesting thoughts about the different ways words sound and how that changes the tone. I think she did an excellent job with the translation. There wasn’t anything that read awkwardly to me.
