At first, it started strong, Helen’s first two lives are very interesting, but by the third time around, I was bored. I think the book would have benefitted by cutting the third life out entirely. A Witch in Time is also much darker than I was anticipating, so be wary if you’re squeamish or don’t like contemporary violence.

I definitely think it’s worth a read and it’s such a super interesting concept of living multiple lives as a witch. It brings up many different themes and I really think the book is super clever and the author treats the readers as very respectable smart people. I highly recommend reading it if you have interest in which is a reincarnation. I’m only semi interested in both which is why it’s not five stars but it was still really fantastic and kept me engaged in reading
