I have absolutely no words for this book. My jaw was on the floor most of the time and that ending was everything to me. I love how the author leaves things up to you to figure out. And the writing was so freaking beautiful. I’m not a Shakespeare expert or anything and it was not a problem for me in the book, but if you want to enter this book a little bit more prepared read: Romeo and Juliet, hamlet, king Lear, Caesar and Pericles, I think those are the most relevant to the story. I loved these characters and the story, they will live in my heart forever.
