This book is feminist, witchy perfection. 

This book is so descriptive, and the prose eloquently paints the world in breathing color. 

The characters are flawed and powerful. Your heart will break for them and rejoice with them.

This book was unexpected for me. I had a bit of a hard time getting into it, but by the time I was about a 1/3, maybe a 1/4 of the way through the pacing picked up to where I was finally throughly enjoying it and totally enthralled. There were indeed a few spots in the story that, to me, seemed like a natural ending point to the story, but I wasn’t displeased that it kept going either. I thought the story was very well written, and I particularly enjoyed how the story highlighted “alternate” versions of stories or tales that we have, in such a way that highlighted women.

Overall enjoyable read but it dragged a bit. The first half of the book there was a lot of focus on rehashing trauma internally but not communicating about it so it gets compounded from misunderstanding.

It was so good I didn't even really notice how long of a book it was. If you want strong female characters that are all equally great and different, while also being extremely flawed, often wrong, and sometimes unbelievably (and rightly) angry, this is the book for you.
It's been weeks and I still think about this book.
