I really like how everything connected throughout the book.  I thought i'd be more grossed out by all the bugs but surprisingly it didn't bother me, because of the context i think.  I really liked the writing. very trauma heavy though and have some mixed feelings.

This book was a wild ride from start to finish. I was enraptured by each women’s story, and how they ultimately were tied together. How each managed to have similar hardships across generations, but managed to find ways to persevere and have a fulfilling life was inspiring and hopeful. But, the problems they faced were some of the worst things, things that every woman fears happening to them. 

I’ve read a fair few of “witch” themed books at this point, and this one had a unique take on the concept that I enjoyed thoroughly. Each woman’s connection to nature was described so nicely, provided both great visuals and conveyed emotions and feelings in a relatable manner. It was kind of refreshing to read a version of “magic” described in a way that I’m not sure I’ve ever personally read before.

Do be warned though, the subject matter for each of the women is quite heavy, with explicit depictions of abuse in varying forms. This book did one thing very, very well, and that was make me extremely angry at basically every man in it (with the exception of Graham and Henry). You know a book is well written when it can make you really feel something, and this one had me experiencing so many emotions. Albeit, most of them were combinations of extreme rage at the horrible men, and sadness and empathy for the women and the terrible situations they were in.

If you can handle the rather graphic depictions of abuse in this book, then it is absolutely worth the read. Make sure you take a look at the content warnings to see if there is anything that might be too much here, I don’t want to spoil anything but there are some very detailed scenes involving blood and pregnancy that could be bothersome. Other than that, I can’t think of anything negative to say about the story itself or how it was written. I’m hoping to find more by this author, I enjoyed this quite a bit.
