Enter Three Witches is one of those ‘let’s take a classic and write it from a different point of view’ (this sounds like I’m being negative but I’m not) books by Caroline B. Cooney (yeah, she actually writes other things besides mystery stuff). I think I would have liked it better if I had read the full version of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, but nevertheless it was interesting. It was dark at times and I liked Lady Mary, the main character. It was somewhat predictable though but I guess that’s an inevitability considering it’s genre. Sometimes it felt like the story was focusing on inconsequential characters, but they turned out to be quite important. But still a very enjoyable read, maybe because of my partiality to the genre.
As far as its awesomeness compared to others of it’s genre though, I think ‘Romeo’s Ex’ and ‘Song of the Sparrow’ were the ones I liked better. X D

Never read that before. I remember reading books by Gail Levine or something when I was younger, and I really like Ella Enchanted.
So I’m not entirely against writing stuff from another POV.
Someone should do a HP-rewrite from Voldy’s POV. That’d be mad awesome. xD
