Very disappointed in this. So misogynistic/patriarchal, all the characters are horrid and deceptive and treat Ophelia terribly. No world building so nothing makes sense. Overall I’m just confused, bored, and put off.

Really detailed - but was very slow for the first half and then very fast. Loved the music throughout and the narrators voice was very calming.
