Oh my god, I could not put this book down. I was so taken by the story and wanted these women to be ok so much and to see them growing in their power as the story unfolded was pure joy.
It can be a difficult read a time as it tackles some tough subjects (see content warning). 
This book follows 3 women through the centuries, and the secrets that have been kept under key about their abilities and true power. This is also a book about men and their never ending desire to clip women’s wings and keep them silent and in cages. 
I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone.

great story following 3 generations of “Weyward Women”. Each faced misery at the hand of men. Its a great feminist read, lots of empowerment. While it wasnt the most incredible story ever, it got the point across and kept my interest. I do wish they had done something more grand with Althas story, i felt it was a bit boring and lackluster in comparison to Kate and Violets story. I really liked the whole “switching between the characters/timelines” as it went on. I know lots of readers didnt like that because it was easy to get lost but if you follow along, i found it pretty easy to stay with and i felt it added a lot to the story actually.
