I cannot think of a single good thing about this book. It was HEAVY with trigger warnings, at over 60% nothing good had yet to happen which led me to not wanting to pick up this book because it would drastically bring down my mood. The characters were so awful to each other. I just couldn't stand it anymore.

At first, I didn’t think I was going to like this book, but I slowly fell in love with the characters and what they were trying to say. Essentially, the book is about three women in the same bloodline who have suffered at the hands at men but discovered their own nature magic to help them. Though the book comes with a lot of trigger warnings, it’s important to note that these women are strong not because of their circumstances but in spite of them. They find strength in their connection to each other and other women. I liked the vivid details of the story, especially as the women connect with nature, though I really am not a bug person myself. I like the revenge the women took on the men (or justice perhaps?) and I like the circular ending. I think it was a bit slow, and perhaps there could have been more details with the women outside of their experiences with men and magic, but otherwise I did enjoy it.

I wasn't aware of the sexual/domestic violence in the book. Guess I should have read more than the synopsis. It's not for me.
