I really enjoyed reading this book but i also recognize that this book has tons of problems..like why did we just forget about wren/fillippia/alexander? richard was also just a big bad character with no substance....i think this book needed slightly less shakespeare quotes (love the whole thematic comparisons but the characters quoting was a bit much) and more backstory/development of characters to be better. however i was emotionally attached the whole time so big win there!
