"If it is a witch they want, then a witch they shall have."
This is a book that will stick with me for a long time. It had a bit of a slower start, but I ended up reading the entire last half in one sitting; putting it down proved difficult.
The atmosphere was just impeccable- dark, moody, mysterious. And the writing was just so beautiful and rich. I empathized with both Abitha and Samson, and the conversations between them were delightful and enlightening to read (especially Samson asking
If you're looking for a book that will make you sob and laugh and clap your hands under witnessing the power of violent, primal feminine rage- this is it. There are many dark, horrible moments that lead up to it, but the payback is indeed, a witch.
Honestly? Good for her.

The characters are so well developed and fleshed out. You grow to appreciate some and full on loathe others (cough, Wallace, cough). The storytelling is great, nice pacing and a lot of religious zealots and hypocrisy which makes you really feel like you’re experiencing Puritan society.
The physical book includes beautiful illustrations and I found myself flipping back and forth to help me visualize who was talking - especially those pesky wild-folk.
If you love feminine rage, revenge stories and Mother Earth connections, Slewfoot is a fantastic spooky season read.
Embrace the witch!
