Thank you to NetGalley and Wednesday Books for sending me a free ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.

Foul is Fair was an incredible read that I absolutely savored. It’s a revenge fantasy retelling of Macbeth full of violence, murder, and manipulative people. But while it’s haunting, it’s also engrossing, absolutely beautiful, and ultimately very satisfying to read. Our main character, Jade, is brilliant and cunning and vicious and I rooted for her every single step of the way. I also adored her coven of friends, and I hope we get to see more of them in the future.

Since this was my first introduction to Capin’s writing, I’m not sure if the lyrical style Foul is Fair is told in is unique to this book, but it was definitely the right choice. I couldn’t put this book down and I reread so many passages simply because I wanted to savor the words.

However, potential readers be warned: this book is full of triggering topics and heavy language use. If you are sensitive to traumatic topics, please make sure to read the full trigger warning list and content advisory on Capin’s website before diving in: https://www.hannahcapin.com/foulisfair .

I’m still reeling from reading this book, and I will definitely be picking up more of Capin’s work in the future. Thank you again to NetGalley and Wednesday Books for the privilege of reviewing an ARC.
