I think if I was in a different mood/headspace I would have enjoyed this book more. It was very tense and melancholic, so I felt a lack of hope for the first 65% of the book. That made it hard to read and enjoy. The writing style was also a little off for me, lots of beautiful prose juxtaposed against some really stilted sentence structure. Since I was listening to the audiobook I noticed that. I liked the themes and seeing three different witches and how their heritage affected their lives, but this wasn’t my favorite type of story. Lots of on page trauma and triggers, so be aware of that.

This book gave me all the feelings. Allowing me to confront past abuse that I have been through (though much of theirs is very different from mine) and feeling the empowerment of those who've come before me and found healing in the natural world. Checking content warnings is a must for this book as it definitely covers a lot of very dark and hard to think about topics. The resilience of women and the story of this family of women breaking free of generational trauma and always helping the future generations was beautifully woven.

Uf. Intense but beautiful.
If you enjoyed Circe, you'll most likely enjoy this one.

Make sure to check CW!!
