England, 1585. In Kit Marlowe's last year at Cambridge, he is approached by Queen Elizabeth's spymaster offering an unorthodox career opportunity: going undercover to intercept a Catholic plot to put Mary, Queen of Scots on Elizabeth's throne. Spying on Queen Mary turns out to be more than Kit bargained for, but his salary allows him to mount his first play, and over the following years he becomes the toast of London's raucous theater scene.

Such a Disappointment
Revisado: 03-04-25
The thing with high hopes is that you're set up for a let down.
The subject matter of this book hits all my sweet spots
and James Meunier is a wonderful narrator- so I was very, very excited for Tip.
Then I listed to an hour of this crap writing and wanted to tear my ears off.
Its all "tell don't show." Every thought, emotion or action is explained (sometimes two or three times)
because the author cannot or will not convey anything through nuance or dialogue.
The stilted romance scenes are beyond cringe.
Basically this is a Young Adult romance novel cosplaying as literature.
Save yourself. Do not listen to this self-righteous, poorly written dung salad.
