Foul Is Fair by Hannah Capin

4.0

The dedication of this book (For every girl who wants revenge) screams volumes. I like that it does not end in a period as I believe it signifies that revenge is not one and done and that it is a continued cycle of a lifetime for every instance that one has felt from childhood into adulthood. I connected and related to this visceral story of rage against the injustices of public violence perpetuated by men and enjoyed the intensity of Elle and her coven. This retelling of Macbeth was well done, especially highlighting the psychological torture of all the characters and providing the female characters with all the traits of strength, ambition, and rage that traditional Shakespeare plays would deem them as unstable, shrews, and weak. Elle and her coven are none of those things and this story is not only empowering but a cautionary tale of when you pick the wrong girl.
