The concept drew me in but it lost me with the heavy handed pregnancy throughline. While I love stories about punishing men, I wish it went deeper than 2nd wave #girlboss feminism. I enjoyed the writing but the themes were not for me.

What is this book supposed to be about? 3 main characters and all of them have been nothing but abused by men until I quit at 53% of the book.... I couldn't continue after the
the graphic rape of a 16-year-old child

Three women and the cruelties they've had to face, each unique and yet similar
I found Weyward very well written. Following along with these three storylines was as wonderful as it was saddening. Each woman unique and yet the cruelties they've faced so similar. I appreciated how Hart was able to capture the individuality of each woman as them being a product of their time as well as their own people.
I'm a bit split on the addition of magic into the story. On one hand, it's cathartic and beautiful. On the other, it dampens the message of the power in women. Why must these women, all very smart and capable in their own right, have had need of magic.

Es un libro sobre la resiliencia de las mujeres a través de los años y cómo la violencia a perdurado aunque la sociedad supuestamente haya avanzado.
Las protagonistas Altha, Violet y Kate tienen voces muy distinguibles y son personajes con distintos problemas pero siguiendo una misma temática.
Finalmente, aprenden a sobreponerse a ellos y enfrentarlos de frente y sin miedo sabiendo que están acompañadas.

La trama puede llegar a ser muy duras y en ocasiones me pregunté si realmente este era el momento para leer el libro pero me alegro de habérmelo terminado porque creo que es una lectura que se va a quedar conmigo muchísimo tiempo y a la que le he cogido muchísimo cariño. 
Me dan ganas de sacar a las protagonistas de las páginas, invitarlas a tomar el té y darles un abrazo a todas.
Magnífico uso del realismo mágico. Increíble lectura, 100% recomendada

A bit gorier than I generally read, but such a satisfying, uplifting book in the end.
