Seven Shakespeares volume 1
My expectation weren't all that high for this. For one, I didn't even remember the author did Beck before /shame.
Then, there is the whole Shakespeare stuff, which doesn't fill me with confidence.
Well, I got quite a good first volume that left me wanting for more and more curious about the whole story, where it will go and how it'll expand and to know what will happen to certain characters (Li, for one) than I would have imagined.
The way the story starts feels right, showing us Shakespeare and the problems he's facing because "theater is the devil" and then plunging right away in telling us Li's story, which is quite sad and made me like her and cheer for her.
Li's background story is that she has... premonition abilities since she was young, and that caused problems for her family but also her, since everyone blames her, her own family as well, which is to be expected in those years where superstition was the rage and witch hunt par for the course.
Given her background, I was expecting something not nice to happen to her, though I wasn't expecting the twist and, while sad, I can't lie, I felt the assholes deserved it.
