First Impression Friday – Macbeth

First Impression Friday

I had so much fun with First Impression Friday last week that I decided to do it again! A few people even joined in last week, which was AWESOME! So a big shout out to Kiersten @ Once Upon a Spine, leetharose @ Life Should be Lit, and Cozy Pages!

If you missed it last week, here’s what First Impression Friday is all about (and please join in the fun!):

• Based on this sampling of your current read, give a few impressions and predict what you’ll think by the end. 

• Did you think you’d love and ended up hating it? Or did you think you’d hate it and wound up loving it? Or were you exactly right?

• Link back to Storeys of Stories so I can enjoy reading all the First Impression Fridays out there!

My VERY first impression was, “uh, oh. There’s going to be a lot of info dumping in this book.” But a few pages later, it turned into action and intrigue!

I can also tell you that the sheer length of this one initially intimidated me.

After a few chapters, I was fully in. And despite the fact that it’s a retelling of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, I find myself wondering what’s going to happen and surprised by things I should have known was coming based on the events of the original Macbeth. 

I’m predicting a 4.5-star review on this one!

Fun fact about this post: I haven’t read Macbeth since high school!
