I think I'll be spending the rest of my life trying to understand what the hell I just finished reading - in the best possible way.
I had my gripes with this book, but the thrilling atmosphere, lush writing and compelling, although deeply, deeply fucked-up characters spoke to my very soul! Couple that with the fact that I've loved Shakespeare for years (though I won't pretend to be as well-versed in the Bard's work as these fellows are), and this was the perfect start to autumn for me 👏🏻
Please come yell at me about it once you read the final line. I have SO many thoughts swimming around in my little head!
