After reading all the wonderful reviews, this book let me down a bit. Maybe I went in with incorrect assumptions, but I wanted MUCH MORE witchy magic. It was a lot of sexual abuse & violence against women to get through for a pretty lackluster ending and NOT MUCH MAGIC. Since there is a main character who is literally going through a witch trial, I thought it was safe to assume there would be some witchcraft? But there was only one spell alluded to in the entire book. No potions, no rituals, no sigils. 80% of the book was just relatively dull, slow-paced, magic-free descriptions of how men are abusing the three main characters.

Weyward overall was an interesting story of women who barely knew each other with three intertwined lives. Though since it was three narrators, it took a long time for the story to build and was easy to forget details of each lead narrator's life. The second half of the book, in my opinion, is far stronger than the first.

Through telling the power of women, Weyward highlights a lot of the struggles of women which includes an almost excessive amount of violence against them (sexual, physical, and emotional abuse).
