5.0

the way this book just finds a way to make you feel as if you were the character itself. the world-building is stunning, you can really feel the connection judith has with her twin brother even if he's passed away, the description of grief is one that the reader wishes hamnet never died even if that means the play hamlet doesnt exist, man this deserves 5 stars 100%
