This novel had a lot of great potential. Either as a retelling of Macbeth from the perspective of Lady Macbeth or an original novel with its own narrative. But, the potential wasn't met with either possibility. This was neither a quality reimagining of the Scottish play nor a good standalone work. 

The backstory is interesting. I like that there was a lot of work done to set up a backstory for Lady Macbeth, even if it doesn't align with the historical figure the character was based on. The reimagining of the three witches was also interesting.

That said, the character herself felt empty, as did her relationships. The motivations were stated, but it was a case of telling and not showing. Things just happened rather than developing organically. A romance happened without any build up. After a couple of encounters where they stared at each other, they were making stupid choices for each other. 

I hope to find another reimagining about this character.
