Pace was a bit slow at times. Phrasing / grammar was a bit awkward. I didn’t know what to expect going into this but agree with others that this is more of a historic fiction definition of witch than the magical fantasy type. Great book but don’t go in with the hope of everything being wrapped up nicely in the end. The big events of the book didn’t happen until the end and I wish there had been a bit more pages in that bit to really send home the feelings and message. Felt rushed, never really got pulled in to experience that “movie as you’re reading” feeling. The end felt unresolved and made me ask “that’s it?” Made me want to throw it across the room because ugh the potential is there! Still worth a read.
