⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
What a ride! Beautifully written, and that pacing...so much happened in the span of 500 pages, it felt longer and yet short. The story vaster than those pages ought to hold.
Loved the take on history, the reminder that the suffragists movement was in shades of grey and how the Maiden, Mother and Crone tropes were subverted.
'Behind every witch is a woman wronged.'
Juniper, Agnes and Bella have my heart. Cleo and August and Jennie as well. ❤️
I can smell the lingering taste of magic in the air, even after closing the book.

I need to process but wow, I absolutely loved this.
Witchy, sisterhood, women's rights ... this was so much more than I expected it to be.
It is a bit of a slow story and normally I don't like that but this was so beautifully written and grabbed me from the start. Highly recommend this ❤

I loved this book! There is so much to love: the witch-tales and ties to childhood stories/legends/myths/rhymes, the amazing characters and world development, and the MAGIC, of course. It is such a beautiful fairy-tale; or rather witch-tale.
The writing is a bit slow at times, which made me lose my focus a bit. I found myself having to reread some. . . but so glad I went back to make sure I read and understood every word.
However, I cannot wait to read more from Alix E. Harrow.

This is such a great book!
Alix E. Harrow's writing is phenomenal and lyrical in a way that it makes you absolutely fall in love with the characters from the very first pages. The sisters are all unique, loveable and irritating in their own kind of way, which really makes them pop from the pages. I think the setting was also quite unique and it was a great story to tell with a really meaningful message behind it.
It's a four star read as it had some issues with the development of certain story lines and the ending didn't hit me quite as hard as it could have. But definitely going to keep an eye out for the next thing Harrow writes.

3.5 stars. I liked the story, but it could have been half as long. Felt like it dragged. I enjoyed the complicated relationships between the 3 sisters.
