I did not enjoy me read of this novel, I have to admit it is not my type of genre but I loved the TV-Show, seeing that the story differs so much form the story was a bit of a disappointment for me so unfortunately this was a miss for me and I will not continue with the series.

One still can see that this is a Shakespeare play but it once a lot bloodier and gorier than a lot of his other plays. One can notice through that, that it is one of his earlier works. I still enjoyed my reading experience but I definitely prefer other plays by him.

I enjoyed the story but I did not like the novella length and the cliffhanger, I think I would have preferred it when the story would have been a bit longer so that one gets a better insight into the characters and the underlining plot.

I enjoyed the storyline and the writing style of this play. I decided to rate it four stars because on the one hand it was not one of my favorites and on the other hand I got really confused by the format sometimes while reading this play.

I enjoyed the writing style as with every Shakespeare play but I did not enjoy the situational comedy probably because it would be easier to see it on a stage than to read it.

I enjoyed the play but it was not one of my favorite plays that I have read by Shakespeare.

I really loved the idea behind the story and its execution. It was a different take on historical romance and had very strong female characters within the story. I cannot wait to read the second novel.

I enjoyed the writing style of the novel but unfortunately, the storyline fell flat for me. I had seen the movie before reading the book and as I did not like the movie it may be the case that I did not really like the story because of it.

I loved this novel and the message behind it. I really enjoyed, despite the hard subject matter, how the story progressed and how Melinda grew as a character to find her voice again. It also shows very well how society reacts to different situations without knowing the full details and without the intention find them.

I liked this installment of the series but it was not my favorite one. I enjoyed the storyline and the writing but for me, it wrapped up way too quickly without really fixing the problems that arose through the story.
