I really enjoyed the prose in this novel, the characters were enchanting and strong and I loved it how it was the "back story" to TWELFTH NIGHT and that Shakespeare was one of the main characters. It took me a while to read, just simply because it requires a bit more concentration to read than a light romance. I learnt so much from it, and I think it'd be great to read if you were studying TWELFTH NIGHT too! The romance was great too, and the involvement of Shakespeare's life was very clever!
