Maybe it's just the Shakespeare nerd in me (I mean who are we kidding, it definitely is) but I loved this book. It does get off to a sorta slow start but the writing is so good that I honestly don't care. The very last, ending twist I did not see come at all. The rest of them I did a pretty well but watching them play out was still so worth it. Just the right mix of dark and funny and intriguing.

Would absolutely read again.
