I’ve started some of the histories off recommendations. I enjoyed it a lot more than I imagined I would. I’m planning to start part 2 soon so I can find out what happens.

I feel like I enjoyed the first part much more than this second part, but I also many be realizing that the comedies and tragedies are much more suited for me than histories.

After doing some research I found that Part 2 is not as popular as Part 1, so now I understand why.

This was my first history by Shakespeare, and admittedly I found it a little denser than his other plays, but it still captured my attention. Shakespeare uses language like no other, and I found all the history interwoven with fiction fascinating. Review to come.
