nitrojen 's review for:

The Bewitching by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
2.75
dark mysterious slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
It is a very slow book. The main section following the character of Minerva reads more like a research paper than a novel. There are too many details added at times, especially extra information on authors and academia, that slows down the book. Minerva is awkward and the dialogue and interactions reflect that. My favorite section is the 1908 timeline, however
the incest aspect (and pregnancy) was uncomfortable, and in my belief, unnecessary.
