The Dead Queens Club by Hannah Capin

5.0

Inventive, energetic, and wholly entertaining. Reimagined narratives may be my personal reading candy, but so few actually realize an intellectually stimulating contemporary take that my endorsements are few. This was brilliant. The choice of narrator - smart, snarky, self-aware, flawed, and surprisingly endearing Cleves - was inspired, and the mapping of historical detail while still preserving a fascinatingly dark comic tale on its own merits is a true accomplishment. This is the Capin I fell for in Foul Is Fair, and I can only hope she continues to own this rare magic.

audiobook note: Vilinsky realized every beat, every nuance, and it was a treasure.
