I wasn't sure if this would be a good book for me. I anticipated it might be a little dull or a little too intense, but I wound up loving it! I especially liked the adaptation of fairy tales and other well-known works as the hidden words of spells. This was just the book I needed this month.

ES:

No es un secreto para nadie que los libros de brujas son mi debilidad. Son el personaje arquetípico fantástico en el que me veo reflejada. Y no es un secreto para nadie que el periodo histórico del sufragismo femenino me resulta fascinante. 
Por estos motivos cuando Alix E. Harrow presento "Las brujas del ayer y del mañana" supe que tenía me corazón. Ya conocía a la autora por "Las diez mil puertas de Enero", que me gustó mucho también...pero en esta novela me ha hechizado. 
Todo buen hechizo necesita tres cosas: Palabras, componentes y voluntad...y Harrow ha encontrado el suyo para hechizarme: Sonoridad, rabia y lucha contra la injusticia. 

Este es uno de esos libros para tener en físico. Y lo conseguiré. 

EN:

Witches are real...and from now on, I am one of them. 

The tale of the Eastwood sisters, with the rage of a fire has captured my heart. In this story about women rights, sorority and witchcraft, Alix E. Harrow has built me a personal portal to my refuge in stressing times. Her prose was the protection spell I needed and know she is one of my favourite authors.

The problem is... now I do not know how to cope without my favourite withes.
