The Steep & Thorny Way by Cat Winters

2.0

I wasn't really impressed. Although The Steep and Thorny Way did touch on a lot of issues that I am passionate about (internalized racism, homophobia, pressure to conform, etc.), the characters were not overly complex and the Hamlet element felt out of place. Had Winters used her own unique plot and spread the story out over more than four days, it probably would have been a much better book. It did, however, touch on sides of the 1920's that are rarely explored, which I appreciated. Overall, it was alright and for those interested in the aforementioned issues and history, this is a easy, quick read that is worth considering.
