This was a really good book! The idea is really original. We've seen a lot of retellings, but this ain't a retelling, it is a sequel to a classic. I really like the idea. It is done really well. You get a Shakespearian feel because of the language (son the translation is done really good as well), but it is still an easy read, as soon as the story gets going.

The start was a bit tough. You need to get through that. It is a lot of names and a lot of information, but the story gets clearer after the first part. This is why it is no 5* for me, the beginning is done to badly for a 5*. But as soon as the story gets it vibe, it is an amazing read. Lot of things happen, you want to read faster than you can :)

I really like the main character. She has a bit of rebellish touch to her character and a great sense of humor, but in a way that it fits the time this book takes place. That is done really well.

Yeah, there are some typical things in this, like a love triangle. But come on, it is a Shakespeare-sequel, what did you expect ;) And I have to admit, I was not sure who she would pick until the page she did.
