This was like a good ole fashioned witch hunt of a book and I really enjoyed getting to read Katharina's perspective, the perspective of those who accused her or those that stood with her, the perspective of Simon and of course the letters sent to either fight for her name to be cleared or for her to be locked up. It took me a little longer than usual to finish it mostly because while I did enjoy it, it felt a bit repetitive at times. I don't know, I think I was also expecting a bit more of a story to unfold (like actual supernatural happenings) rather than the events that happened for Katharina to be accused of being a witch. I still very much enjoyed reading it though and would definitely recommend this to someone who is a sucker for historical fiction.

It got quite repetitive and the only reason I kept reading for so long were the funny quips here and there.
