This one was heavily recommended for people who enjoyed the Game Changer series but… I’m really not sure about this one. Giving it a bit more time, but I fear this may be a rare DNF for me.

I’ve decided to stick with it. Mostly for the fact that I’ve made it far enough in that now that I feel like I might as well just ride it out to see if it ever clicks into place why people seem to love it so much, but I think this one just might not be for me and that’s okay.

I’ll never look at the name William Shakespeare without thinking the name Emilia Bassano! I’ve already ordered her book of poetry and I can’t wait to get to know the real woman who inspired this wonderful story.
Melina is the only reason this book fell short of a perfect 5 for me. The modern chapters felt a bit weak after coming out of the Elizabethan ones and I found myself just waiting to get back to Emilia’s world. I could have very happily have read about Emilia on her own whereas I don’t think I could say the same for Melina. That said, I did enjoy the parallels in their stories, but Emilia’s felt like the plot and Melina’s felt like diversions.

Really enjoying the parallel story lines. I’m finding that my attention is held better by the Emilia chapters, but I’m enjoying Melina’s as well.
