A review by thisbookishcat
Ophelia by Lisa M. Klein
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? It's complicated
2.0
This is a book that I was so excited to read because I love Shakespeare's works and I often really enjoy people's adaptations and interpretations of his stories. However, this one was really tiring and I felt it was a bit pedantic.
While I can appreciate what the author was trying to do with this story by adding depth and drama to it, I just didn't enjoy how she went about it. I can't tell if it was her writing style, hers choices in plot direction, or what, but it made for an unpleasant experience. At the end of the book I just didn't feel any sort of satisfaction, or emotion really, just disappointment.
