. . . one of my favorite scenes in all of Shakespeare.
It really is a pretty cover. And dragons. I love them so. It's been far too long since I've read a book in which dragons played any kind of primary character role. They do here, and they are probably my favorite aspect of this book. But more on that later. It's probably worth noting that I, like the rest of the world, was aware of Fourth Wing and the collective losing of BookTok's mind over it. I mean, it was kind of thrilling to hear that you couldn't find a copy anywhere—in the sense that I love it when books are being consumed and loved. And when that happens in such a way that it takes publishing by surprise (for lack of a better way to phrase it) so much so that they have to scramble to print more. So I did the sensible thing and bought the ebook. And then I proceeded to do the not-so-sensible-but-extremely-Angie thing and not read it. There was a cross-country move tucked in there somewhere between the buying and the reading, but more on that at a later date...
OMG totally just had a squee moment, haha. This is also my absolute favorite passage of Shakespeare. Love it, and love Kenneth's version :)
ReplyDeleteWe had to memorize that speech in 10th grade...I think Kenneth did a rather better job of it than I did!
ReplyDeleteKenneth Branagh + Shakespeare = LOVE
ReplyDeleteHayley, it's my favorite version of it as well.
ReplyDeleteCharlotte, nice. I'd love to have it memorized.
Tiah, definitely.
