- Bit up and down with this one but overall I really got immersed in the events of the book and had a fun time.
- Most of my hangups are around the writing: a bit overt on the themes it was exploring (although very interesting and executed well overall), the inner narrative of the characters felt a bit discordant because of the use of both direct Shakespeare quotes and a more casual writing style alongside each other. In general I also felt some of the quotes lacked depth with their use, they seemed to be put there just because they have the words a character needs to say.
- But I liked the use of the plays themselves! Felt like that tied in better to the character plot lines than when they quote Shakespeare at each other.

The writing really created this universe of the school and I felt like I was there. I think I would have an even greater appreciation if I studied this in school and drew all the parallels to Shakespeare.
This was definitely an intriguing and fairly quick listen.
