Loading... Third Witch (edition 2021)by Jackie French (Author) ChariseH | May 25, 2024 |   This was my second of Jackie French's Shakespeare retellings and I will certainly be reading the third book as well. I felt conflicted about my rating because while I enjoyed all the aspects of the story in regard to women and class divide and true happiness I found it difficult to sympathise with Annie. While she claims to be loyal, I found her loyalty quite shallow and self serving. If I was going to have someone looking out for me I would much prefer it to be Rab or Agnes rather than Annie. This would have been a solid four star read for me for the clever retelling but Annie's character brings it down to 3.5 stars. (  ) ChariseH | May 25, 2024 | I loved the way that French explores the ideas of the supernatural, and how supernatural explanations are not necessary to explain the events of the play. And I appreciated the different viewpoint, that of the 'common people', and the many variations therein. (  ) fred_mouse | Dec 30, 2017 | |
