I love witchy books anyways and this really makes me want to know more about the true events and about Alice & Fleetwood!

Edana recommended this when we went for our reading weekend in Fermanagh, that was a long time ago. I think I was nervous to not like it. But that was unnecessary. I really enjoyed this. It was a lot longer that I expected but I loved the characters. Poor Fleetwood is just a child, she needed to be protected, not used and isolated.

The premise and set up if good but everything compelling and all the driving force for the main character is undone in the last 15 pages. Also a notiable lack of familiars.
