A review by megancortez
Ophelia by Lisa M. Klein

5.0

Feminism and Hamlet are two concepts I would not have put together. Mostly because Hamlet is a raging misogynist! But this novel shades this topic and complicates it. This novel was fun and interesting! I enjoyed the YA take on Hamlet's Ophelia, retcons and all. Giving Ophelia and even Gertrude complex and vibrant personalities made me wish they had more depth in the source material... but what can you do about a play that's hundreds of years old? Well, you can fanfic it! And boy am I here for that!
