She has a degree in political science from Barnard College and lives in New Jersey. Review Reid takes one of Shakespeares most interesting antiheroes and endows her with vulnerability, power and depth: a protagonist whos neither flower nor serpent, but something both more magical and more human. This is a darkly gorgeous feast of a book, rich with irony and invention. I was spellbound from the very first page. * Freya Marske, bestselling author of The Last Binding trilogy *Lady Macbeth is a dark, elegant, heart-stirring novel, beautifully written, rich with the history of language and of medieval Scotland. This tale of a tortured, appealing, resourceful woman carves its own life from the Scottish play in a unique and powerful way. I loved every page. * Louisa Morgan, author of The Ghosts of Beatrice Bird *Queen! Ava Reid has done it again in this gothic, atmospheric reclamation of the story of Lady Macbeth. Scotlands cold will seep into your bones, but the kernel of hope that burns in all Reids stories will keep you warm as you watch the scheming, vulnerable Lady Roscille fight for her autonomy in a world that would define her in relation to men alone. * Vaishnavi Patel, New York Times bestselling author of Kaikeyi *Lady Macbeth is a bewitching read with prose like gold. * Tasha Suri, World Fantasy award-winning author of The Jasmine Throne *Lady Macbeth is a knife of a book: blood-stained, sharply beautiful, and necessary. It doesnt retell Shakespeare so much as slice cleanly through it, revealing what was hidden beneath. I couldnt look away. * Alix E.
