AMAZING book! The middle had moments where it felt like it dragged, but I think that’s just because there are so many plot lines and characters to bring to arc. All the setup paid off in the ending. Love, love, loved it.

Yay I finally finished it! I absolutely loved the concept of the book with the combo of sisterly love, feminism, and witches. Lost one star because parts of it were slow in the beginning but it really picked up as it went on and I was happy with the ending

I really loved this and highly recommend it. It's a historical fantasy, but it's also set in an alternate world where witchcraft exists. This book is full of tiny allusions and references to alternate history, literature, and fairy tales which was an extra delight when reading - I don't think it's necessary to be well-read to enjoy this book, but I do think it's an additional joy if you do get the references. I adored all three of the sisters and the side characters, and especially appreciated the acknowledgement of everything the Sisters and Black community went through, and how they have more come down on them than others in times of oppression. 
Perfect, no notes.

ich liebe es so sehr.

june ist mein baby, aber alle drei schwestern sind so sehr in mein herz gewachsen.
die charaktere sind auch einfach so gut geschrieben, jede der schwestern ist so einzigartig und jede hat ihre flaws, aber sie passen trotzdem so gut zusammen.
ich liebe die themes von hexen, frauen, tradition, vermächtnis und gechichte - es war alles so unglaublich wichtig für die geschichte und hat mich ja auch irgendwie alles berührt und abgeholt. einige der themen sind ja auch aktuell / immer irgendwie wichtig - frauenbewegung, etc.
ich bin normalerweise kein mensch, der sich auf worldbuilding und lore einlässt, aber hier regrette ich es null ! vielleicht hab ich ja ein neues genre für mich entdeckt !! die lore war crazy und so so gut durchdacht, aber ich hab auch keine wirklichen vergleichswerte.

actually hab ich das buch schon vor paar wochen beendet, deswegen ist die review gar nicht mehr so real 👎🏻 naja !
 das buch fühlt sich durchtränkt mit liebe zur literatur an, es war so eine gute erfahrung das zu lesen !

teilweise hat es sich vielleicht bisschen gezogen, aber irgendwie war ja doch immer alles wichtig und spannend - ich hab gar nix negatives zu sagen grad...

june ist meine maus, habs so geliebt, ist jetzt nix was man unbedingt als weltliteratur gelesen haben muss, aber einfach massiv süssmausig.
