I love a good witch book, but this one was not my favorite. There seemed to be large plot holes regarding VenCo and the Maiden, Mother and Crone. Even if this is the first in a series, there was still relevant info missing that seemed important to the story. I finished it to find out how it ended but I felt no connection to any of the characters.

This was delightfully witchy, and I loved the range of characters and kinds of witchiness. We didn’t get a deep look at any of them but Lucky, our protagonist, but I found all of the snippets of witch’s lives to be compelling. And the villain was completely hate worthy, ugh. Not surprisingly (since it’s a story of witches) this was definitely about the ways that white capitalist patriarchy oppresses and betrays women, while convincing them that it was their idea all along. And it’s about the ways women have and continue to fight that system.
