What do we say to Father when he goes on a hunt? Don’t kill the foxes!
STOPPED AT 21%
I will probably continue in the future, but right now it somehow doesn't enchant me, even though it is an interesting and well-written book.

I definitely had to give this book time. And this time I made the right decision (it's a miracle haha). If anyone asks me if I liked this book, I really can't say yes or no, because it's much deeper than that.
———————————————————
Fleetwood was one of my favorite characters in this book, she wanted the child just as much as her husband Richard and her mother. Her friendship with Alice was really close and she needed her just as much as Alice needed her, she was there and saved her from death just as Alice saved her.
I can compare Alice to a mouse, a very brave mouse. My soul wept for her, wept because she was treated this way, and she was innocent!
I hate Roger, in fact I feel something much deeper than hatred for him.
Richard is very complicated for me, I can't adjust to him and I don't want to, a part of me despises him very deeply, but another is grateful to him for ultimately doing the right thing.
Basically, the action takes place in 16th century England during the reign of James I (who was very famous for the witch hunts) and I have to admit that this is one of my favorite eras! It was relatively easy to read and interesting (especially the witches, who I would have liked to have read more about them) I didn't know what I needed in this life, but now I know, whatever force, creature or even fate made me continue this book, I owe its my soul!
