I know so many people who loved this book and while I loved some of the poems, I also found it to be a bit repetitive. I also felt like a lot of the poems were more anti-men than pro-women which was disappointing because I was hoping the focus would be more on the magic women hold. I did love the poems that focused more on the power of women and how they can change the world! Definitely check the content warnings before reading as well 🫶🏻

If I didn't highlight at least 50% of this book I'll eat my goddamn hat. I want the entire manuscript tattooed on my body in scrawling prose so I can stay infused with this magic everyday. (I might settle for buying a copy to annotate, gifting this to every woman I meet, and tattooing the coven rules on my body instead.)

kj468's review against another edition

I borrowed this from the library because I follow the author on Instagram and quite like a lot of the poems she posts there (in 2022). However, the themes in this book were very different, ones I don’t relate to, and the overall message of the book seems to be “men bad, women victims”. While I’m a strong feminist and firmly believe that there are deeply rooted societal problems regarding the mentality that men at large are taught regarding women at large, this book was incredibly reductive and took the “all men” narrative too far. I wanted to finish this book but honestly it was too depressing and infuriating, and I just fundamentally didn’t agree with the viewpoint the book was taking, so reading the second half didn’t seem like a good use of my time.
