I don't quite know what to say. Sometimes when you finish a book you feel like you don't know what to do next - that's how I feel right now.
I've never been very into Shakespeare and I'm a miserable actress so these parts of the book probably didn't quite do for me what they did for other people. but oh god the rest.
I also want to say that I love the characters with all my heart and I don't care what others say. Filippa is awesome, Alexander is so freaking... interesting (or, a filthy hedonist), Meredith is so precious to me.
