It was fine. I wasn't really motivated to pick it up and was just reading it to finish it. I think the fact I've visited the witch stone in Dornoch, and seen a play about the women, and thus knew how their story ended removed any sense of suspense or jeopardy. I didn't care enough about the fate of the troupe for them to draw me in more.
The writing is pretty basic and YA feeling and it rushed through the actual witch trial with minimal focus on the consequences or emotions of it.
The modern part at the end was awful and twee.

This was a very good read especially if you are interested in Scottish history. Based on Janet Horne the last witch to be executed thee author has turned this into a fictional story but also is informative and allows us yo imagine the horror inflicted upon these women accused as witchescarcinokattastic's review against another edition
