As I Descended
by Robin Talley; audiobook read by Amielynn Abellera (HarperCollins, 2016)
A 21st-century YA retelling of Macbeth, offering laudable (if methodical) diversity of characters while blithely upholding elite school stereotypes. As a milquetoast salve to modern sensibilities, Delilah/Duncan is restyled as an unworthy queen/king, her ‘murder’ merely an accident—comeuppance gone tragically awry.
