So, this started off strong for me and I was really excited to see the direction it was headed. But, the ending was just … not at all what I was hoping for I guess? I felt let down in a way and like the character betrayed herself.

Harrowing scenes of human cruelty with a cathartic ending. If you want a classic witch persecution story read this. You'll get more than you bargained for and it'll be so worth it.
