The Death I Gave Him
by Em X. Liu
~3.75.
Hamlet gets a new spin as a locked room sci-fi mystery!
I enjoyed this! While it is a Hamlet retelling, the author effectively created tension and intrigue throughout the story, so I think people who are familiar with Hamlet won’t find themselves bored while reading this. The futuristic and AI elements were very interesting and Liu implemented them into the story in a cool way. This definitely contains some gore/body horror, so if that’s not something you’re into, you may want to skip it!
The only thing I didn’t care for about this was the POV that was written in retrospect after the events of the story. I found myself less engaged with these chapters, and I wish all of the POVs had been during the events.
Thank you to Pride Book Tours for having me as a host on this tour and providing my copy of The Death I Gave Him! Be sure to keep an eye out for this one in September!
