I wanted to adore this book. I really enjoyed the first half of this read. But i struggled with these and half so much. I think this book would have been much better at series rather then a super long standalone. There was so many POV and they were not distinct enough to make it clear with person head I was in. I liked all the characters, but did not feel super connected to them all. It did not grab my attention and did not keep me focused. I stuggled with the last half of the book!

I have found that books are like food. Some just don't mix. For example... one shouldn't eat spinach with cheesecake. And, likewise, one shouldn't try to read something like this when one is drowning in drafts of a paper on opera.
I may come back to this one. But just know that my review is incomplete and somewhat tainted by William James' theories.
Do you love retellings? (I do.) Do you love historical settings? (I do.) Do you love snarky/snappy dialogue? (I do.) Do you love seemingly superficial but actually complicated characters? (I do.) Do you love Shakespeare? (I do.) --Yes to all of the above? ---Have I got a book for you. :)
