The Death I Gave Him by Em X. Liu
Did not finish book.
DNF @ 35%
This just wasn't for me.
I was drawn to this due to "queer, scifi locked room mystery", and I didn't even realize it was a Hamlet retelling at first. And maybe that should have been my first warning, because I generally don't enjoy reading classics, or anything too literary.
The writing style was objectively beautiful and clever, and but I couldn't get into it and felt my attention drift away, and I struggled to pick it up for over 2 months now, so I'm gonna leave it here. Might pick it up again at a later point because I'm still intrigued.
I received an ARC and reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
