I still enjoyed this series. I liked the writing, the sense of humor and the goofy solutions these characters find for their problems, and the setting. When this duology was good, it was really good. It's a tragedy to me that it floundered so much at the end when it has a lot of potential. If the author ever decides to revisit this universe, I'll be there eagerly waiting.

I really wanted to like this book a lot more than I did. After all, I like crafting, and I tend to enjoy critical looks at Christianity. While it wasn't the worst book ever, but I stopped enjoying the experience of reading it at, like, 30%. Unfortunately the book just didn't manage to live up to anything it promised.

Overall, this was a very unique book that was told in the perfect way. It was a clever way to explore the scarier side of technology, as well as being a hilarious way to tell a story.

This was a fun book to read. I always enjoy seeing how people reimagine Shakespeare, especially when it's being done in a more inclusive way. As with every anthology, there were some hits and some misses, and some of them did feel quite young (not a critique, just an observation), but overall it was a good reading experience.

Despite it's few faults, I really did love reading this book. You also don't get a lot of people exploring what life in Helsingør looked like before the events of the play, and I thought this author did a really great job building out the origins of the characters and their conflicts. It was a good balance of being true to Shakespeare's version of the characters while also feeling original to this author. Ultimately, this is a great example of how to make the story of Hamlet

I won this book in a Goodreads Giveaway, and it took me a long time to read it because it just wasn't grabbing my attention. In a lot of ways the book was just fine, but the execution was really lacking.

This was a really charming story. It's another story that reminds me of something you'd read in an English class — a little out there and largely contemplative, but full of heart.

There are some books that are good as you're reading them, and then as you finish them you are suddenly flooded with the flaws. This was one of those books for me.

Overall, this book was fine. I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it.

I'm partial to every Hamlet retelling. There has never been a version of this story that I've disliked, and this book is no exception.
