I feel badly for all the Weyward women. I definitely would have enjoyed this more if I was reading it rather than listening.

Not spooky witches. More about women and their connection to each other and nature, so if you’re looking for Halloween vibes, this isn’t it.

The audiobook is good and I recommend this format. I feel if I had tried reading instead of listening then I would have DNF’d. 

I was expecting more witchcraft than trauma reading this. Most reviews mention to read the content warnings and I agree. I tried to add as many as I could remember. At the height of the stories there’s abuse, mostly physical, and unwanted/unplanned pregnancy. I don’t want to spoil anything further so I’ll leave it at that but read the rest of the warnings in case something may be triggering to you. The beauty behind this story is the resilience of the three women and how their stories are connected. The women are alike and intertwined in more ways than one. We get their POV’s that take place over 400 years. 

A couple of my favorite quotes (spoiler free):

“Witch. The word slithers from the mouth like a serpent. Drips from the tongue as thick and black as tar. We never thought of ourselves as witches, my mother and I, for this was a word invented by men. A word that brings power to those who speak it, not those it describes.”

“There are enough men in the world already”

This is hands-down the best book I've read all year. It gives me the same feeling that watching Practical Magic does: warmth, comfort, like magic is just at your fingertips. An interwoven story of three women of the same gifted lineage, this book made me believe in the magic all around us, and believe in the strength that every woman carries within herself. I wish I could forget it just to read it all over again!
