The Raven Tower

I particularly enjoyed how the Hamlet elements were woven in well enough for me to recognise what they were, while still keeping the story decidedly not-Hamlet, and not relying on the familiar features despite leaning into them.

The "past" storyline of the narrator is also incredibly intriguing, and plays out very effectively. The use of second person, unusual for novels, is also very effective

Overall, it may not have sucked me in completely, but it was certainly an enjoyable read and very well crafted.

Merci de combiner un univers de style fantasy avec une vraie histoire. Combien d’histoires se contentent d’un univers de style fantasy et d’une histoire complètement manichéennes éclatée au sol qu’on a lue 40 fois depuis le Seigneur des anneaux… bonne histoire, réellement humaine.
