Fun fact: I put this book down for over a year at only 25% complete, as I couldn't get past the phrase orchestra of cocks . When I finally got around to finishing, however, I found it a very satisfying start to a colonial-era historial thriller series. I did find the central plot somewhat difficult to take seriously at first, as the seriousness with which the characters take the witch trial and accusations of consorting with Satan are preposterous to a modern reader . But the characterizations of each ...character... I found to be engaging and engrossing.
Content Warnings
Graphic: Gore, Misogyny, Colonisation, Cursing, Death, Domestic abuse, Religious bigotry, Murder, Sexual content, and Violence
This book does contain accurate racial attitudes for the time period, which are decidedly out of touch with today's values.chloebear21's review
