Read the full take

Ellen's plan is simple. Before she turns into an obsessive villain who gets executed, she is going to get a divorce. But after she becomes Ellen Lianster, her plan gets complicated. The premise is a comic fantasy romance in which a heroine tries to rewrite a doomed future by simply leaving her marriage.The strength is the voice. Ellen's dry, practical attitude makes her a fun lead, and her attempts to outwit fate are funny. The fantasy world is well sketched, with plenty of political intrigue.The weaknesses are about the plot. The divorce arc can drag, and some misunderstandings follow familiar lines. Readers wanting a quicker story may find it stretched.Recommended for fans of witty villainess-style fantasies. Expect a clever, sarcastic read that is more fun than surprising.
