Review of 'The tragedy of King Lear' on 'Storygraph'

5 stars

This is a lovely book, although it does not deal as directly with the arcane / occult as the previous book. Also, similar to the last book, there are tidbits which are dropped earlier i.e. "fruit" which are never fulfilled in the conclusion.

For all of that, the writing is clear and the plot is refreshingly unpredictable.
