It is a quick read. I got through it in a day, put I did put it down a lot. The writing, the pace, the plot, and the characters were all great, but I just could not get into it – probably because I’m not the target audience. I think teenagers would really like this.

I love Shakespeare. I love retellings. And this happens to be a Shakespearean retelling. At first, I wasn’t too sure about this story because of the setting – I didn’t think it would be something I could get behind, but somewhere along the way, I ended up invested in the characters, rooting for them. It was one of those stories I didn’t realize I enjoyed until I finally finished it.

I am out of practice. I had not picked up an actual camera for two years and had not taken any real pictures since either. This book felt like a good first step to regain my footing. And the photos included in the book were all so beautiful – tranquil, I think, would be a good word. Total 5/5.
I am so hopelessly in love with this book – I could not put it down for a moment. I finished it the same day that I received it. It is so difficult to describe this story without ruining it or underselling it, but a word that comes to mind is colorful.
