What a gorgeous display of womanhood connected through generations. The ties to nature are breathtaking. Is it too late for me to become a witch?

Beautiful & magical. A story about the power of women and the bond between them, even when they’ve been kept away from one another for far too long.

This was a very pretty and yet violent book about wild (literally) women and the men who won't let them stay wild. I appreciated the characters who felt tender towards insects and didn't like cut flowers - I always feel weird about that in myself. All of it was lovely but it felt a little basic feminism 101, a little too on the nose with generic messaging, which made it a bit drained of meaning. Well written, beautiful imagery, but ultimately didn't go deep enough.
