The Queens of Innis Lear by Tessa Gratton
4.0
Confession: I've not yet read King Lear.
So coming into this, I had no expectations or notions. But I can see the threads of Shakespearean tragedy woven through it. I was impressed I think most, though, by the writing style. It was fluid and lyrical. Also, the way we are introduced to characters and the ways that they change throughout the book are really intriguing. I hated Mars and loved Ban in the beginning. By the end, that had flipped.
The ending was a bit of a disappointment to me though. I really wanted Elliya to end up with Mars.
