It has been awhile since I actually read Richard III, but the vibes of this book definitely fit that play. Rory makes for such an interesting narrator; she's not really the most likable, but you still kind of want to see her suceed? She's manipulative and vengeful, but that makes for an interesting story.

This book does flip between timelines a couple of times to add intrigue, which was a bit confusing at times while listening to the audiobook. But the writing style was engaging, and the overall pace leaves you hooked, wanting to see what Rory might do next to secure her position in the play. If you like Shakespeare retellings, definitely pick this one up!
