A review by katiemack
Lady Macbeth by Ava Reid
4.0
I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
This REALLY makes me want to reread The Tragedy of Macbeth. Based on the reviews, though, doing so beforehand would have made me enjoy this book less...so I'm glad I waited.
If I ignore that this is a retelling, it's an excellent, dreary, gothic novel that makes the reader feel trapped, a sense of dread and foreboding throughout as our titular Lady tries to survive her new life and subvert war. I found the prose gorgeous, and our Lady is cunning though fallible.
