The Steep and Thorny Way by Cat Winters

3.0

---

An ambitious novel with some truly beautiful moments, bits of writing and a necessary (and timely) look at the historical roots of racism and homophobia. However, secondary characters seemed underdeveloped, like set pieces and there were details that didn't ring true. Oddly enough, I think that knowing Hamlet so well actually distracted me from the finer qualities of the story.
