Shakespeare, I'm Sorry They're Doing This To You
Listen. This is not a kind review. I read the first book and hated it. I would've been incredibly happy to leave it in the past, but the description was about Hamlet. I had to read it, even if I knew that I'd hate it. I did hate it, and it really wasn't similar enough to Hamlet for me to be even a little gracious.
