I'm sure I missed a lot of references that Hamlet fans would love, but ah well! Because of this book, the original play has become one of my top to-reads.Īs someone who loves dark academia, I was enchanted by the university setting of the story. As someone who has yet to read the play, I could still understand the characters and story well.


Eep, I finally get to talk about this book! Author Carly Stevens has crafted an utterly beautiful dark academia retelling of Shakespeare's Hamlet.
