Fun time all around. Part of me wishes it went more into the Puritanism and misogyny, as it only really mentioned them. This was written by a man tho, so I’m not surprised— in the most neutral way I can possibly say that. I had a good time and loved the inclusion of the artwork

This book was a great and BEAUTIFUL example of a revenge story. I love it the whole anger but satisfaction at the end. chief's kiss!

This is a 'cosy' historical horror that follows a widowed woman during the times were women do not have voices and she makes her way to give those who wronged her bloody hell.

I listened to the audiobook voiced by Barrie Kreinik, she did a great job at voicing the characters. She did an amazing job on varying her voice with different characters so it was easy to follow. I will buy the physical copy because it has beautiful illustrations by the author himself.

what I like:

• the writing beautifully described the the world, the characters and the creatures beautifully.
• the satisfaction at the end of the were those horrid people got what they want...beautiful. I love the violent descriptions.
• the trials, the history of 1666 and the fear of everyone, including women, was greatly written and provided a good understanding into thar time era, including me being more and more curious of that time era and witches.

what I dislike:

• the beginning was a bit slow for me, though it is understandable as it gives you context to everything in the town, the people and the forest folk.
